I'm currently trying to provide a list of all articles that were created in the last calendar year, and I'm finding it very difficult to do this without a "Created by" column to work from in the list of All Articles. I think my last resort is to concoct some sort of expensive API call against 1,400 articles. Incidental to this, it would also be valuable to filter for articles that were first published (see comment from Saffron Gerbil).

I'd also see a lot of value for our content workflow in being able to export the article list with the creation date or first publication date, along with the latest modification/update dates.

This would be very helpful for us as well.
