Let me add a this from doc/DETAILS: Note that the date is usally printed in seconds since epoch, however, we are migrating to an ISO 8601 format (e.g. "19660205T091500"). This is currently only relevant for X.509. A simple way to detect the new format is to scan for the 'T'. Note that old versions of gpg without using the =--fixed-list-mode= option used a "yyyy-mm-tt" format. Thus if you want to parse a GnuPG time string, you should better check whether a 'T' is in that string. And you should also take care of the year 2038 problem; which is the very reason that we use fixed size strings in GPGSM to work with timestamps. Those ISO time strings are also easy to sort.
