Presuming that you're reading them from within Gnus, and considering
that you probably won't want to regenerate the headers of past
messages, you could as well use something along the lines of:

(setq gnus-article-time-format "%a, %b %d %Y %T %Z")
(setq gnus-treat-date-user-defined 'head)

But of course I agree that applying your patch would be a Good Thing.
