What Miyagawa-san is saying is that, depending on the locale even the order

I think we just need a format like year_month_format.
$dt->strftime($dt->locale->year_month_format)
Ah, I get it. I was wondering why he was asking such a basic question ;)
The problem with what you propose is that the locales are generated by
parsing data from the ICU project, so we need to calculate that format
from the data somehow.
We can sort of get this by looking at the short_date_format to see if the
year comes before the month, or vice versa, but that won't tell us that we
need a comma in the English version after the month.
