Also the GH bot is using DD/MM/YYYY date format :-( whyyyyyy?
Because github is international, and everyone but the US seems to agree that
```
/\
/ \
/ \
/ day \
/________\
/ \
/ month \
/______________\
/ \
/ year \
/____________________\
```
is preferable to
```
__________
/ \
/ month \
/______________\
/\
/ \
/ \
/ day \
___/________\___
/ \
/ year \
/____________________\
```
I much prefer YYYY-MM-DD (or YYYY.MM.DD) because:
1. It's consistent with HH:MM:SS and other instances where there are
multiple units (they go from largest to smallest).
2. It's easier to sort them.
3. It removes the confusion over whether it's DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY.
