I just added this functionality in SVN r2773. Now you can use most of
the template wildcards like {developer}, {date} or {datetime}.
Additionally, since SVN r2775 you can also change the format of the
date/time wildcards in the Templates tab of the preferences dialog.
Docs were updated and know the details :D

But for the above mentioned function description template, you may want
to use the already existing corresponding template?
