Here it is in patch form. Note that it doesn't entirely address the
issue as passing the _InRelease  file to python-apt's
get_release_date_from_release_file(path) function ends up handing the
file to pkg_apt.TagFile() which doesn't recognize the inline gpg signed
file as a RFC 2822 tag formatted file; presumably something needs to
verify and remove the gpg signature before handing it off to
pkg_apt.TagFile(). I'm not familiar as all with the pkg_apt (aka libpkg-
apt) APIs, and they are large enough for me not to see an obvious method
for doing that.
