What is the problem that your feature request solves

I'd like to migrate from Pinboard to ArchiveBox. I have over 10,000 bookmarks since 2009. Export them as JSON and import them into ArchiveBox but found that all bookmarks have the same timestamps.

docker-compose run archivebox add < ~/archivebox/pinboard_export.2021.07.07_06.33.json

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

The import process could keep the original timestamp that's already in the JSON export:

...
{
  "href":"https:\/\/github.com\/yuliskov\/SmartTubeNext",
  "time":"2021-06-05T18:55:20Z",
  "shared":"no",
  "toread":"no",
  "tags":"youtube android"
},

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

Manually edit 10,000 imported bookmarks? I don't think so...

How badly do you want this new feature?

• It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
• It's important to add it in the near-mid term future
• It would be nice to have eventually

• I'm willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
• I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
• I've had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up
