PING - any feedback about it?  Currently my biggest concern is the
documentation, changelog and commit messages.  I hope that the
code itself is correct (but a review is still welcome).

Also I'd like to notify that we have discussed this with the Polish
translator and the Polish locale [5] [6] will be updated with
alternative month names as soon as these patches are pushed.
For other locales at least I'd like to try to contact translators.

Regards,

Rafal
