Gaia currently displays time zone names from the IANA Time Zone Database:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tz_database

If the names are incorrect, that could be reported as a bug to the upstream TZ Database, or we could build a mechanism for providing aliases or replacements for TZ Database names.

TZ list people in my experience are kind of not doing anything but maintaining and not interested in broadening scope.

However, many fixes for their stuff being deployed in the real world exist within the ICU (International Components for Unicode) package at http://site.icu-project.org/ ... including localization. It could well be that is the better place to build a solution that integrates TZ and real world requirements than going straight to TZ directly.

For example, see files and localized subdirs @ https://ssl.icu-project.org/trac/browser/data/trunk/tzdata/icunew/2013h/44
See also CLDR timezone 'metazones' @ http://cldr.unicode.org/
See also demonstration of 'do TZ people care?' at http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-October/018297.html (how I learned about all this muck!)
