Description

I was looking at a way to replace datutil.parser since dateutil seems highly unmaintained, but I see that dateparser still depends on that for it's parsing feature.
Have you got any plan to write your own implementation, or bundle and maintain that part of code directly in datutil?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how dateparser depends on dateutil.parser and assess the scope of replacing or directly maintaining that parsing functionality. The issue names no files or tests, and completion would require a decided replacement or maintenance plan before implementation can be considered done.
