It is overy strict, so relaxing is the right thing to do.

Yes, except there are now lots of false positives.  That is
a problem.  It renders portlint less useful (to the point that
I am considering to not use it any longer since it's become an 
uphill battle submitting patches and bug reports regarding the 
increasing number of false positives coming from portlint).

I am not planning to use `make makepatch`for new patches, either.
My patches are perfectly fine and do not exhibit the problem you
are concerned about, so why warn about them?  In fact, `make
makepatch` would remove key information in some cases.

(Warning about patches that cary specific timezone information, 
not ones that lack "UTC" makes sense, of course.)
