Description

EXIF dates are formatted "YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS" [1]. This is a very weird format which date parsers usually cannot deal with, so CommonsMetadata should parse it and return dates in a more standard format. (It should also handle weird things like " : : : : " or "0000:00:00 00:00:00" (see T28090).

Ideally "a more standard format" would be ISO 8601, like all other timestamps returned by the API
