Thanks, I pushed those three patches into the
unofficial development repository at <https://github.com/eggert/tz>.
I also pushed the following further patch, which fills in old time
stamps for the two new locations, using the transitions specified
in Shanks & Pottenger (2003).  I don't know when Khandyga
switched from Yakutsk to Vladivostok time so I guessed 2004
in this patch.

Subject: [PATCH] Update zones Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Ust-Nera for pre-2004 time.

* europe (Asia/Khandyga, Asia/Ust-Nera): Modify pre-2004 history
to agree with Shanks and Pottenger (2003), since we have no better info.
