Comment (by donmhico):

 I've attached a PR which updates `post_modified` and `post_modified_gmt`
 to `post_date` and `post_date_gmt` when publishing a scheduled post.

 I agree with @uatania. I've seen feed reader / apis which uses post
 modified date.

 My PR changes are inside `wp_publish_post()` since aside from
 transitioning scheduled post to published, i don't see any other use case
 of `wp_publish_post()` where this new change could potentially break
 something. Another set of eyes is more than welcome in case I missed
 something.
