Yes it is OK to push *other* patches that correct the dates to match

For the record, I would have assumed that correcting the date in a
ChangeLog entry to match the git commit date was like correcting a
typo in a comment: no approval required, just post the patch and then
go ahead and commit it.

I agree.

I've added it to Consensus.

~~~
 * Anyone can commit a change to master fixing the date in a ChangeLog
entry to match the git commit date. There is no need to post the patch
for review, simply make the change and then push the commit. This is
only allowed for master where consensus is that dates should be
correct. There is still no clear consensus around what the ChangeLog
date should be for a cherry-picked change into a non-master branch.
