Not even seven years ago was that the case. It was never official, I don't know why is it changed to that in (#16076) ticket. I did my research, and I found that ticket too (that is why the ticket name are the same). It may have some other reasons why dots are there in Django, but we use everywhere ':' and I didn't find any reasons for dots in Django, that's why I made a ticket. Neighbor countries also use ':' separator in Django.
Has the style in Hungary changed since the original formats were introduced seven years ago (#16076)? Do you have a colleague who can +1 the changes?
To me, the sentence in the article you linked "The time format is “hh óra mm perc”, but the numeric form hh.mm can also be used (although colons are sometimes used instead of dots)." doesn't really support this change.
