You don't do any input validation on the date in argv anywhere, so
--news-release-date=foo-bar would be accepted here, as would
--news-release-date=2020-1-1 without leading zeroes.

I assume the lack of leading zeroes would cause problems at some point
down the road (for example, if we ever try to use the 'date' or
'date_pres' replaceables in a context that actually parses them as
date strings, such as the ?update= parameter to download.cgi).

I suggest instead:

release_date = time.strptime(args.news_release_date, "YYYY-mm-dd") if args.news_release_date else datetime.date.today()
… { 'date': release_date.strftime("YYYYmmdd"),
    'date_pres': release_date.strftime(…) }

Cheers,

Daniel
