Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2023-02-21 14:25:41 UTC
For example, GLEP 1 says:
"The Created header records the date that the GLEP was assigned a number, Last-Modified specifies the date that the GLEP was last updated in the master branch, while Post-History is used to record the dates of when new versions of the GLEP are posted to the appropriate mailing list. All three headers should be in ISO 8601 yyyy-mm-dd format, e.g. 2001-08-14."

Dates should be in the UTC+00:00 time zone, not in any local time zones.

Patches will follow.

In principle, this also applies to the copyright year in GLEP 76.

Comment 4 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2023-02-22 16:46:17 UTC
Please review attached patches.

Should I post them to the ML and submit to the council for approval, or does this still qualify as editorial clarification?
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2023-03-01 10:40:40 UTC
CCing council. If nobody speaks up against it, I'll push these changes after the council meeting in March.
