Description
(I'm guessing that) contributors shouldn't be able to change a post's publication date—that's why the Publish box doesn't include the date when logged in as a contributor in the first place. However, if a contributor quick edits a post in the All Posts screen, they'll be able to change the post's date.
We should remove the date field from the Quick Edit form. Or, alternatively, we should allow contributors to edit this date while they're editing a post. Either way, both screens should be consistent.

41448.diff checks whether the current user can publish posts (of the current post type). If they can't (that is, if they're a Contributor), the fields for changing a post's date are not included in Quick Edit.
@johnbillion, I didn't check the REST API. Should we address the (possible) issue with the REST API here, or should we open a separate ticket?
Confirmed. Users who cannot publish a post should not be able to change the post date (introduced in [7409]).
This bug has been present since Quick Edit was introduced in 2.7.
This might affect the REST API too.
