The "it" that I reported is the sorting, so as far as I can see it's
fixed.  With the "last update time", I suppose you're talking about the
second line below:

  [FEATURE REQUEST] Timezone support in org-mode datestamps and org-agenda
   2023-10-29  1:04 UTC  (110+ messages)
                                        ` [POLL] Proposed syntax for [...]

I don't care too much one way or the other, but it makes sense to me for
that to match the value that's actually used to sort the messages.
Eric, what about something like this?

Subject: [PATCH] www: display Received: timestamp for dumped topics

As a follow-up to 0f19ca7e3ca6fc56 (www: sort all /$INBOX/ topics by
Received: timestamp, 2023-02-04), display the Received: timestamp
rather than Date: timestamp when dumping the topic so that the
displayed date aligns with the sorting.
