 issuedate is the date the item was checked out, yes.

A quick run of the SQL seemed to work on my library's data, but the use of
issuedate does mean that it won't include any data migrated from Koha 2.2;
it'll only include checkouts made under Koha 3.0.

Substituting issuedate for date_due or returndate will include results from
Koha 2.2, but will skew the results (as these refer to the due date and date
the item was returned, respectively).
