The status of #9527 is that Alexander waits for an initial review. So if
you would like to help, you can start with a review.

The status of #762963 is that the patch doesn't work: "It changes the
behaviour of time.asctime(time.gmtime(time.time()))". "A proper fix
would be to use tm_gmtoff explicitly (...)".

#1647654 has such patch (written by Alexander). Alexander is waiting for
an approval (and maybe a review?): "The patch needs documentation
updates which I will add if the idea is well received." If you want like
to help, you can also comment this issue.
