To show the amount of time being used by a team owner see the current mailing list queue for ~ubuntu-cyclists:

Between the dates of June 6th, 2009 and July 7th, 2009, there are 166 messages needing to be discarded (spam). The only method of accomplishing this task is to click the radial button for each message, 166 clicks with the added time of scrolling. However, this is still a Low priority task, in my opinion, as I will just continue to ignore that page until I can Discard All.

A partial work around would be implementing the mailman setting of "max_days_to_hold" (deleting held messages after X number of days) (Bug #396592).
