I actually copied that strategy from curl:

Comments below that blog post mention other sources,
disagreeing or agreeing with the kind of strategy propagated:

lawyer propagating the year (re-publishing and own blog):

To me it seems currently viable to reproduce the date based on the git log,
even signed if necessary.
