Do we have anyone/anyones willing to take that on? If I understand the pywikibot history correctly that has been the major hurdle for releasing in the past and was the reason for the stamp solution to get releases going again.
That's a good point. I also would like to add that we might not always agree on what is and what is not a breaking change and how often we should bump the version (another source of arguing). For example I consider changing requests requirement a breaking change...
It'll be definitely easier for us (developers) to continue to use a date based versioning, but the burden will be moved to users who will have to check the changes for each new release.

With semver this could be changed and the new release is known before uploading it including any doc strings.
Actually I think we can use a hard-coded timestamp as version. It should not matter if the version differs a few days from the exact release date. Perhaps that could be resolved by changing the way are setup.py works.
