I asked if anyone knew the motivation behind the format of the timestamp in the OO issues database
Even if you did mention it more than once - most of us thought you would be talking about the program and perhaps its included database.
But what you are referring to is Issue Tracker, the website based bug tracker system.
Looking inside any of the issues (I like to refer to Issue 2497: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2497) I see the strange time and date format you mentioned:
(DoW MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy) - DoW = Day-of-Week (3 characters) MMM = Month (3 characters) dd = Day-of-Month (2 digits) HH:mm:ss = Hours (24-hour, 2 digits) : minutes (2 digits) : seconds (2 digits)) yyyy = Year (4 digits)
Unfortunately I can't reply your question why this format has been chosen once Issue Tracker had been set up - and I'm not sure anybody else here might help you.
Perhaps someone in the QA or the website project has any clue, but I expect only one or another guy from CollabNet, the company hosting our website and Issue Tracker, could know more...
I don't know if you heard that our website is switching to Kenai, including a change from Issue Tracker to Bugzilla (IIRC).
Bugzilla at Mozilla and Redhat uses a different time stamp (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss [TIMEZONE]), so your problem (if there is one) might be over in a few months...
