[Suggestion] Change \year macro

[sieversMartin]

Following a discussion at https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/573374/glossaries-package-incompatible-with-documentclasslni I would like to change the \year macro to \submissionyear or the standard \date macro. Redefining a macro like \year, which should be as "stable" as possible, was not the best decision although it has been working so long.

Any preferences from @koppor or @sstrecker?

\submissionyear sounds fine for a temporary value (until a submission is accepted). \yearofpublication (or similar) sounds better after a submission is accepted and published.

Da man sowieso die Herausgeber angeben muss, bin ich auch für \yearofpublication.

Gegen \date spricht, dass man am Ende nur das Jahr braucht und die User sowieso eher selten \date benutzen.
