At first, I thought this was a second April Fool's joke, but then I
looked and saw that all of the BIPs really do use this format. As far
as I can tell, we are using this insane format because RFC 822 predates
ISO 8601 by half a decade.
Since we don't have half a gajillion mail servers to patch, we could, if
we desired, adopt a sensible date format here. The cost to the
community would be minimal, with probably not more than a half dozen
people needing to update scripts. It could even be as simple as one guy
running sed s/parseabomination/parsedate/g
