While that pull request's "Future Work" mentioned we should revert it three months after its implementation, we decided we'll instead make sure no assignments with submitted_at: nil remain in the database (for assignments where the status is not pending, which means an actual submission was made). This is a cleaner approach as all data is kept in a consistent state, instead of behavior that depends on the row's date.
