Yes.  So, to determine what the default should be, what date do various
backends use?  I'm guessing a little:

nnml: File system's modtime of article?
nnmh: Same as nnml?
nnfolder: X-Gnus header data?  Added when article saved in the nnfolder?
nnimap: Server-assigned date attached to each article.
	(Which usually equals the date when the article was copied
	into that mailbox.)
nndraft: never
