Format for date tags and Roon's display behaviour

For vorbis comments (FLAC files), the standard format for any date tags (DATE, ORIGINALDATE) follow the ISO 8601 standard: YYYY-MM-DD, shortened to just YYYY-MM or simply YYYY.

However, when I use ORIGINALDATE=1960-06, Roon will display 1 June 1960 (instead of simply June 1960).

I can fix this in Roon by doing an edit:

WIth this edit, Roon will display June 1960 (instead of the annoying 1 June 1960):

So my question is:

Can Roon be fixed to display YYYY-MM date formats simply as (Month Year). Having to edit the dates in Roon is annoying, since I have a lot of files where the date is specified as YYYY-MM.

Thank you.

Currently, one has to manually correct the imported data.

The ticket is from August 2019. It must be getting bumped continuously to the bottom of the priority queue. Anyway to ensure that it eventually gets to the top?

I also have a ticket in the queue from 2019:
