Given https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1091372/getting-the-clients-
time-zone-and-offset-in-javascript
it seems that you can get the client timezone using javascript for almost
all browsers.
This could be used to set a session/cookie with the aforementioned
timezone in order to communicate it to a timezone middleware, that runs
activate().
Both the middleware and the javascript script could be provided by default
by contrib.admin.
The benefit is that by default/for free django-admin would provide its
users with properly localized datetimes instead of UTC
