Agreed with Ned, this sounds like a job for the release script to me.

I think we avoid manual edition of dates in the HTML docs thanks to Sphinx; we 
could generate the man page with Sphinx too (if there were enough advantages 
than just this issue).

Senthil Kumaran added the comment:

There is another option. To have the same behavior like svn keywords
through hg. Having this setting at server hgrc can help.
This will be useful if we have more than one instance of keyword expansion.

keyword=

[keyword]
**/*.man =

[keywordmaps]
date = {date|rfc822date}

Ned Deily added the comment:

The keyword extension would have to be added by everyone to their existing 
.hgrc files and the Mercurial developers discourage its use (This is 
considered a feature of last resort.).  Better to eliminate the keyword in the 
source.  There were others that have already been taken care of.

[issue17167] python man page contains $Date$ in page footer

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily:

The center footer in the source for the python man page, specifically the .th 
macro in Misc/python.man, contains an unexpanded $Date$ left over from the days 
of svn keyword expansions.  Since hg does not support such expansions, either 
the source should be edited to remove the keyword or the date should be 
expanded during builds.  One possibility would be to add sed edit steps to the 
altmaninstall makefile target and to release.py --export.
