It's mentioned as the preferred way to reference commits in
SubmittingPatches (search for %ad).

But I don't see why it is "not a footer". The "Fixes:" key conforms to
the trailer syntax, and the value of a trailer is free-form. Running:

  git log --format='%(trailers:key=Fixes)'

shows that Git is happy with it. And indeed, a few other people have
used it before you. None of them with a date. ;)
