From: Veronika Kabatova <vkaba...@redhat.com>
Patchwork saves patches, comments etc with UTC timezone and reports
this time when opening the patch details. However, internally generated
processes such as events are reported with the instance's local time.
There's nothing wrong with that and making PW timezone-aware would add
useless complexity, but in a world-wide collaboration a lot of confusion
may arise as the timezone is not reported at all. Instance's local time
might be very different from the local time of CI integrating with PW,
which is different from the local time of person dealing with it etc.
For submission views, just add 'UTC' strings. For API responses, change
the serializers to still use ISO 8601 format but with timezone
information suffix [Z+-HHMM] - UTC for submissions and PW's local
timezone for internal events.
