I think it would make sense letting the user decide that. I would suggest a
pop-up dialog right after the user pressed "yes, I want to migrate". This
dialog would appear only if the database contains TIME, DATE, or DATETIME data
types, and it would ask the user if he wants to interpret his data as (UTC+0)
or he would prefer the recalculation of data using OS timezone information.

I agree. A built-in solution is better (like the suggestion above) than a wiki
page describing what to do.
I would suggest to create a new bug report marked as feature request with the
above changes and close this bug as "won't fix" or "moved"
