Merge Request "opened at" time is not in the right timezone

Summary

If i open a merge request and immediately make a comment, the timestamp on the comment will be in the correct timezone, but the opened at time will be UTC.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create merge request
  2. Make a comment
  3. Hover over the "Opened ______ by " timestamp
  4. Hover over the timestamp on the comment
  5. Notice that the opened at timestamp is after the comment timestamp (in my case by 4 hours currently since I am in America/Detroit timezone)

Example Project

joshfriend/bunnypedia!36 (merged)

What is the current bug behavior?

MR opened at timestamp:

Commit timestamp pushed soon after opening the MR

What is the expected correct behavior?

The opened at timestamp should be in my current timezone like all the other dates for comments/new commits/etc

Relevant logs and/or screenshots
