We localize dates everywhere by the user's preference. RC, contribs, histories,
etc... even our old code review system uses localized dates.

Dates are localized according to the user's choice, they should know how to
read it. In fact none of the date preference options we give are ambiguous. And
if YOU don't like seeing localized dates you can set your preferences to show
ISO dates.

Is there any real reason not to localize the date as our standard is?
