Original description:

Shotwell uses signed 32-bit integers to store dates and times. Dates and times
are stored in standard UNIX fashion, relative to 1/1/1970. This gives Shotwell
a representable date range from 1904 - 2038. We have had a downstream request
to allow dates in the year 1900, four years outside of the supported range:

Academics and others that are using Shotwell to curate archival photos might
find the 1904 lower bound to be an unnecessary constraint that limits their
use of the application.
