Not automatically at least, but you can set `respecConfig.publishDate
= "2021-12-07"` to lock the publish date.

ReSpec infers publishDate from `document.lastModified` (Last-Modified
HTTP header), which GitHub Pages deployment always updates whenever it
re-deploys (on any file change). As GitHub Pages makes use of Jekyll,
it may be possible to configure excludes there, but I cannot confirm
whether or not it will work.

Also, in future, the spec-prod GitHub Action might support this
automatically. See https://github.com/w3c/spec-prod/issues/8 and
https://github.com/w3c/spec-prod/issues/49.
