Question: timestamps of imported issues

[midenok]

Please, indicate clearly in documentation what timestamps will be of imported messsages: either orignal ones or current time?

Have a look at this sample issue for reference:

There are two dates on that issue:

• April 26 - The date the issue was imported
• September 23, 2016 - The date the original issue was created

There is no way to change the first date, April 26. That date is permanently set by GitHub, and is the date we usually see on the standard issue.

The second date, September 23, 2016 at 00:37 GMT, is the original date and time that the original issue was created, and is added by the gh-issues-import.py script. Why is it in GMT, you ask, and not in your own personal timezone? First of all, it would show the exact same date for everyone, even people outside your time zone. Second, have you ever tried working with 🗮🗲🗡🕱🕷🕱 ✞✠΅ϡ❢ 🕱 ❢🗮✠ timezones!!?!?!?!

Did that answer your question?
