See the 'datefmt' option, which takes strftime(3) extensions. I.e.:

    savelogs --datefmt='%Y%m%d' /path/to/logfile

probably is close to what you want (yyyymmdd). The strftime(3) manpage
lists all the available options. You can put the datefmt in a
configuration file (e.g., savelogs.conf) also:

    DateFmt      %Y%m%d

and invoke savelogs:

    savelogs --config=/path/to/savelogs.conf
