OK, I'll bite...

Because it's only used as the date for the mbox format
leader line, and not an actual email (RFC 822/2822) header
line?  And in that format it represents "delivery date",
which is irrelevant for stuff you're generating to be sent
out anyway, meaning this line doesn't actually get sent out
to anyone when you mail your patches, so we don't care what
it is.

I can't think of anything else, so if it isn't that please
do tell.  Not that I cared about it before, but once someone
says "try and guess why" it somehow becomes important :-)
