Comment:

 Why add a new date format option to the widget when there's already one in
 Options -> General that is used throughout the site?

 The average user has no idea of PHP date format options. What should they
 enter there?

 > Leave blank for default

 The average user has no idea what the default is.

 I'd say this is plugin territory.
