Title:
  apport-gtk crashes on reports without timestamp

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  $ /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/apport/apport-gtk", line 598, in <module>
      app.run_argv()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 694, in run_argv
      return self.run_crashes()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/ui.py", line 245, in run_crashes
      logind_session[1] > self.report.get_timestamp():
  TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'NoneType'

  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apport/report.py:

      def get_timestamp(self):
          '''Get timestamp (seconds since epoch) from Date field

          Return None if it is not present.
          '''

  so get_timestamp can return None, but run_crashes does not cover this
