Hello Yu Gong!

I'm not an R developer, but I hope I'll be able to help you with my
advice.

Sometimes, everyone is too busy to discuss a patch right now, but a
patch just left on R-devel may be eventually forgotten before there's
time for discussion. Try asking for a Bugzilla account (by following
the guide at <https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html>) and submitting the
patch there.

Thank you for verifying this. As far as I can tell, the file has always
contained both entries referring to "Asia/Taipei":
