A local time offset of '-0000' is not handled the same way as an offset of '+0000', but I'd expect it would be:

>>> import email.utils
>>> 
>>> email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime('9 Dec 2021 08:52:04 -0000')
datetime.datetime(2021, 12, 9, 8, 52, 4)
>>> email.utils.parsedate_to_datetime('9 Dec 2021 08:52:04 +0000')
datetime.datetime(2021, 12, 9, 8, 52, 4, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)

I observe the same behavior on Python 3.9.9 and 3.10.1.
