Subject: [PATCH] info date to be explicit about the date formats
Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2022 22:06:48 +0100

hello coreutils maintainers,

I would like info page of the date to be explicit about
the ready to use date formats so users can pick them as
example for their own ones (as example: just remove the
timezone information).

regards,
marc
