Should project updated time actually be the last activity time?

Plan
Change Project list sort option from using updated_at
to using last_activity_at
Description
While working on #26509 (closed) I noticed that the updated time for a project seems to be the last time the project object itself was updated via updated_at
but this ignores activity on the project such as commits, MRs, issues, and so forth. To me, on the list, I'd expect projects with activity to rise to the top of an updated list rather than only having updates to the project model itself be counted (to see which projects have activity and which have become more stale).
Proposal
Either change the updated time sorting on project lists to use the last activity time, or add sorting options to sort by last activity time in addition to updated time.
