date --date does not support strings like "Jul 18 06:14:49 2024 GMT" #6644

Dear maintainers,

unlike coreutils from the GNU project, date can not deal with the following situation:

date --date "Jul 18 06:14:49 2024 GMT" +%s
#> date: invalid date 'Jul 18 06:14:49 2024 GMT'

Can you please add support for time strings in that format?

Perhaps this is related to https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/2685.
