Summary

• dateparser.parse("Thu, 19 Jan 2023 10:45:00 +03") returned None, and the same string without the weekday parsed to the wrong date (day 19 was replaced by 3).
• Root cause: pop_tz_offset_from_string only recognized UTC offsets that had a UTC/GMT prefix (UTC+03) or included :00/00 minutes (+03:00, +0300). A bare, minute-less, prefix-less offset like +03 matched none of the existing patterns, so it was left in the string and got mis-tokenized as a stray numeric date component downstream.
• Fix: added a dedicated whole-hour bare-offset block to timezone_info_list (dateparser/timezones.py) covering -12 through +14, anchored on a preceding whitespace character so it can't be confused with a dash-separated date component (e.g. the -12 day in 2015-04-12, which would otherwise be misread as a UTC-12:00 offset).

Fixes #1127.

Test plan

• Added regression cases to tests/test_timezone_parser.py for offset extraction/stripping (+03, -04, and a non-match on 2015-04-12).
• Added test_parse_bare_utc_offset to tests/test_date_parser.py covering the issue's exact strings plus the dash-separated-date false-positive case.
• Full test suite passes (pytest tests/, 24275 passed).
• ruff check . and ruff format --check . pass.

I think this can be a single entry in the replace list of the first block instead of a new block that repeats the whole table:

# +nn, -nn:
(r"(?:UTC|GMT)\\(\+|\-)(\d{2}):00", r"(?<=\\s)\\\1\2"),

Same behavior for the cases in your tests, the full test suite passes, and the timezone name becomes UTC\+03:00 like for any other whole-hour offset, instead of the regex source \+03.

Please, also move the parse test cases into the existing test_parsing_with_utc_offsets, drop the 2015-04-12 case from test_date_parser.py (the one in test_timezone_parser.py is enough), and drop the comments that reference the issue or the old behavior.

Thanks for the review! Applied all the suggested changes:

• Folded the bare-offset pattern into the existing replace list using the (?<=\\s) lookbehind instead of a separate timezone_info_list block — the timezone name is now UTC\\+03:00 like the other whole-hour offsets.
• Moved the +03/-04 parsing cases into test_parsing_with_utc_offsets.
• Dropped the standalone test_parse_bare_utc_offset test and its 2015-04-12 case (already covered in test_timezone_parser.py).
• Removed the comments referencing the issue/old behavior.
