This patch should be queued on top of topic
'tb/bugreport-no-localtime'.  Currently they are on parallel branches:

  * 91aef03015 (refs/upstream/jk/banned) banned.h: mark ctime_r() and asctime_r() as banned
  * 1fbfdf556f banned.h: mark non-reentrant gmtime, etc as banned
  | * 4f6460df55 (refs/upstream/tb/bugreport-no-localtime) builtin/bugreport.c: use thread-safe localtime_r()
  |/  
  * 72ffeb997e Ninth batch

and because of the not-yet-removed localtime() call in
'builtin/bugreport.c' commits 1fbfdf556f and 91aef03015 can't be
built.
