 Hello WordPress team,

 I recently started noticing some issues from search engine consoles that
 my sitemap located at /wp-sitemap.xml has some date and time errors and
 showing invalid last modified date format.

 When I checked the sitemap by my own, the homepage URL was showing plain
 date and time (like - 2021-02-18 09:21:07) while the rest of the pages
 having valid date structure (like - 2021-02-18T16:03+00:00).

 Please look into the issue and fix them asap because this issue causes
 instability in search engine index.
