I have forwarded this bug to upstream. Their response is: ----------8<---------- The "--date" command line argument (and "datestamp" configuration value) "Include a time/datestamp in the document footer." (https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/config.html#datestamp). They are generic Docutils options that should not be used with the "manpage" writer. The "date" value for the .th macro fetched from the "Date" field of the docinfo. See the test input "standalone_rst_manpage.txt" for an example. ---------->8---------- If you agree, can we close this bug? -- Dmitry Shachnev
