For my $0.02, I think adding such a feature would require a fair development
effort. You'd need to have UI for manipulating a timestamp, or significant
validation code on the backend, or both.
FWIW, Fossil does allow you to add fields to the ticket table, markup to the
ticket create/edit/view pages, and customize the ticket reports. So it seems
like you could add your own field for storing your custom timestamp, and update
your ticket reports to reference/include the custom field. You'd probably need
to do whatever validations you need in client-side javascript.
I think there's info in the Fossil Wiki about adding custom fields.

Would it be possible to add this feature, at least for making
tickets older than the date they were entered? Is there a strong
reason to disallow the editing of time stamps on tickets?
From a quick skim of the documentation on how tickets work at
all, it would appear that all one would need to make a ticket
appear at an earlier time in the timeline is a ticket artifact
containing the right ID, and with the right date, and possibly
containing a "change" for at least one other field. If the date
on the artifact is earlier than all others, then it would appear
first in the timeline, and give me the effect I want.
I'm not certain it is possible to move a ticket completely into
the future. My understanding is that the individual artefacts
that make up the ticket are immutable, so it wouldn't be possible
to replace the oldest artefact with one with a newer date, and
additional artefacts changing a ticket with newer dates are what
happens when you edit a ticket now.
