We received the reports below regarding erroneous dates in the the BibTeX entries for RFCs that are available from the Datatracker. If possible, please update the code that generates them so that the date contains the month and year as available from rfc-index.xml. (We prefer that the day not be set except in the case of April 1st RFCs.)

Example from rfc-index.xml (RFC 1112):

        <date>
            <month>August</month>
            <year>1989</year>
        </date>

Another example from rfc-index.xml (RFC 1149, an April 1st RFC):

        <date>
            <month>April</month>
            <day>1</day>
            <year>1990</year>
        </date>

Fixed in a2c8fa0:

Added a Document.pub_date() method which returns the RFC publication datetime or other documents' new-revision datetime. Changed the generated bibtex entries to use pub_date(). Added tests for bibtext entries. Added 'bibtexparser' to requirements.txt. Fixes issue #2032.
