--- Comment #5 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
The current recommendation of DIN 5008 (standardization of written
correspondence) is "Mär."/"März", see
https://www.din-5008-richtlinien.de/startseite/datum/

My take would be to change locale data to "Mär" and in code add "Mrz" to be
able to parse that back in.
Then again that DIN 5008 lists abbreviated month names as

Jan., Feb., Mär./März, Apr., Mai, Jun./Juni, Jul./Juli, Aug., Sept., Okt.,
Nov., Dez.

so we'd need to add abbreviation dots as well, which in turn would need
checking date formats for extraneous dots.

Odd is "Sept." because including the dot it's 5 characters instead of 4, where
that DIN 5008 talks about always 4 places ("immer 4-stellig").
If we did that then also the shorter "Sep" would need to be recognized in the
scanner code (trailing abbreviation dots are always taken into account there).
