Since there is no Tue, 21 Mar 2018, the parser apparently assumes
you've meant Tue, 27 Mar 2018 01:38:22 GMT.

the parser should throw a warning

[builduser@testserver:/rpmbuild/SPECS]$ rpmlint fsync-tester.spec
fsync-tester.spec: E: specfile-error warning: bogus date in %changelog: Wed Feb 22 2018

because Wed is wrong, it was a tuesday

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is expected behaviour, and is documented in the documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php
