Now fixed: No, not fixed. Keeping patch dates in UTC *corrupts* the date. I'll ask people to stop using patchworks if it cannot keep track of emailed dates. The date very much is a local time WITH A TIMEZONE.

Not some random date that patchwork makes up that has no relevance. I know you have that date, because it shows up when asking for the headers in patchwork. Just use the right one, don't make up incorrect ones.
