Date fails on dd/mm/yyyy

Does anyone know if the date(1) utility will ever be updated to accept a 
date in non-American dd/mm/yyyy order. It is fairly good at working out 
other date formats as input with -d but this format fails. It's fine 
when reversed (yyyy/mm/dd).

I'm using the version from GNU coreutils 8.30 (September 2019). Has it 
been updated since then?
