See the attached file w3cdate.py. It's a hacked version of Ted's plugin
that does what you want. It creates the following variables:
head/foot templates:
$lastmodified_w3cdate
$lastmodified_rfc822date

story templates:
$w3cdate
$rfc822date

You'll want w3c dates for atom and rfc822 dates for rss2.

You can define your own variables in config.py to do this.
Something like:
py['blog_author'] = "The authors name"
py['blog_email'] = "[email protected]"
which are then available in templates as
$blog_author resp. $blog_email

I also didn't like this behaviour. Again you can use a custom variable
for this.
e.g:
py['blog_name'] = "This will not be changed by pyblosxom"
which becomes $blog_name in templates
