Description

When publishing Draft posts via Bulk Edit date of post isn't changed and posts are published with the last date they have.

When user is publishing something, he/she expects this to be fresh on the block news and not be published on time what it was drafted. I imagine that user can prepare something and sitting on it waiting for right timing and then publish. If the time gap is not big he/she cannot even notice that it was published at past but in some cases date is matter for users and SEO as well and inaccurate dates can be potentially looks like tricks from the site owner or caching bug.

This is saparate issue found during #31635 discussion.
