Upon examining a dump ([Backup/export/import Preferences](https://meta.discourse.org/t/backup-export-import-preferences/254597)) 99% of users will rush to correct

`'birthdate' => '1904-12-16',`

Alas, in `preferences/profile` there is no way to set year.

Anyway 1904 was a good internal placeholder, until users notice it.

Yes, it doesn’t matter, but as you know, even one old age wrinkle gets people running to the pharmacy to blot out.

P.S., where is the best place to file such minor issues? (GitHub, but  
where?) Thanks.
