This is fairly important to get fixed up.

Currently PageCuration isn't including a timestamp in its posts. This is
problematic, as talk page archive bots often rely on a timestamp in a section
to determine which sections to automatically archive. Without a standard
timestamp, these sections can become zombies, stuck in talk page purgatory
indefinitely.
It may make sense to fix this locally as soon as possible (assuming the
relevant MediaWiki page can be edited to include "~~~~~"). But a general fix to
this issue in the extension itself is needed in fairly short order.
