Comment:

 In [changeset:"6873"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="6873"
 Plugin Directory: Attempt to avoid storing invalid dates in postmeta for
 status changes. If the post modified date isn't available, assume now.

 I'm not entirely sure `post_modified_gmt` is the correct field to use
 here, I suspect `post_modified` would be better, or perhaps even just
 using `time()` in all cases, but once again, I'm not sure why
 post_modified_gmt was used here instead.

 Fixes #3511.
