No, that's not what that timestamp says. The timestamp in "ls -ld" is the modification time (mtime) on the directory, not the change time (ctime). The mtime on a directory changes when you create something (a new file or subdirectory or whatever) inside it, or delete something from it, or rename something in it. It doesn't update on chown or chmod. That would be ctime. So, we don't know when the ownership changed. It's probably not something that can easily be tracked down at this point. Either you remember the reason, or you don't. I'm happy that it's fixed now.
