Hello @Gallaecio! I would like to work on this issue. I am new to this project and getting familiar. Can I work on this issue? Also could you redirect me to some relevant documents/files for getting started on this issue?

Feel free to work on this, it would be very appreciated. However, I don’t feel familiar enough with the code base to give hints on how to fix this specific issue, or even which files.

Dateparser passes the input string to different parser objects that are meant to parse different things. It’s a matter of determining which of the parsers is meant to be able to handle this input (probably absolute-time), and find out why it returns None instead of the expected date.
