619728 - Messages sent via the python shim lib assume Pacific

Messages sent via the python shim lib assume Pacific. This isn't the case for releng machines, so "sent" times are in the future. Also, I think pulse is in phoenix (though I have it set to Pacific).

I assume this is referring to buildbot messages specifically.  Not sure if this remains an issue or not.

Rereading, I guess this was actually an assumption across all shims, of which there were more at the time.  Atm the only other active publisher is SimpleBugzilla, and its timestamps are in UTC, so the new summary still stands.

The solution is either switching all buildbot messages to Pacific (which maybe they are now) or all of them to UTC.  I prefer the latter, but I find the ambiguity of DST switches (to ST in particular, since an hour is repeated) when no full timezone is provided to be frustrating and hard to fix.

Buildbot had the odd habit of doing things in pacific time. So I think this is solved.
