Hi,
Whilst working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we noticed

Thanks for the patch!
Can you please forward it upstream to [1], or do you want me to do that?

Done at https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/patches/132/.
We are having some interesting discussion there, please feel free to
follow up if you are on SourceForge.
I will do a new upload once we get some agreement with upstream on this.

Dear Maintainer,
Looks like there has been some discussion upstream on this issue:
https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/patches/132/
I wonder if it needs poking/moving on...? :)

Upstream first committed my patch, but then reverted it.
If you can join the upstream discussion and give some real world example
of where this patch can be useful, it would help a lot.

Message #37 received at 831779@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
The reverted patch was buggy, incomplete and did not solve the problem of
non-reproducible builds due to timestamps in rst2man output.
Debian could solve the problem with a patch setting the config value::
# Disables datestamp; equivalent to --no-datestamp:
datestamp:
in /etc/docutils.conf or wait for a consensus among Docutils developers
after raising the issue on the docutils-devel list.
