Review Comment:
   > corresponding UTC offsets of these timestamps
   
   The timezones may not be of the form `"+02:00"` they might also be 
`"America/Los_Angeles"` in which case the offset to UTC depends on the date in 
question. See 
https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/3801/files#diff-5f92a7816bbae9b685c2f85ab84a268b85246bfaa14272c5afd339810ad471f3R22
   
   My suggestion is to use the chrono `DateTime` abstraction to handle applying 
the offset correctly, along with `Tz` to handle parsing the timezone string 
correctly. 
   
   In particular 
[as_datetime](https://docs.rs/arrow-array/latest/arrow_array/temporal_conversions/fn.as_datetime.html)
 and 
[as_datetime_with_timezone](https://docs.rs/arrow-array/latest/arrow_array/temporal_conversions/fn.as_datetime_with_timezone.html)
 handle the cases of no timezone and a timezone respectively. You could perhaps 
crib from them, or even use them directly
