Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @joehoyle thanks for opening this ticket. I'd love to get this fixed so
 that drafts have actual gmt data, I see no reason they should not.

 According to the [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5698#comment:14
 original discussion] in #5698 `The empty post_date_gmt is used as the
 marker to indicate that post_date should be updated to the current time
 when saved`. This may be the underlying use we need to address before
 adding actual gmt data to drafts.
