Hummmm <touch/> already is able to change modification times So we just need to get the last modification.
Not sure about all this mean/median attributes, I do not see what use they have on a build process, but last/first seem fine. I would prefer separate tasks for separate properties. So if you want to obtain sizes then have a separate task for that. No major objections though...
