all messages should use iso date for the automatic time stamp and the human written text. First we should focus on the part behind the @. These examples show the current situation: "afk for a while - 2019.09.23 @ 2020/01/26 08:51Z" "Out of the country til 2/7. Emergencies, feel free to touch packages within @ 2020/01/16 00:01Z" Reproducible: Always

If you submit a patch I'll merge it. -A
For a start, we'd have to find where devaway.xml is generated. It would probably also make sense to add the date as an attribute, rather than putting it into <reason/>.

I think this should cover your concerns. We've been parsing the dates anyway, so I've just stripped them from reason and formatted explicitly. The next steps would be to: 1. Add date="" field to the XML. 2. Switch WWW to prefer using the date="" field over parsing date from reason. 3. Remove date from reason in the XML.
