There are three things we can do here.

First, we can expose the max_days_to_hold feature. I would like to make this an option for the team owner, though I'm not sure whether it should be a simple toggle with a hardcoded time limit, or full control over the number of days. I'll chat with Martin about that.

Second, while I do not actually like the Mailman feature of "discard-all-holds" I think we can do slightly better in Launchpad. We should add a JavaScript control to set all held message statuses to Discard. That's all the JS would do.

Third, see bug 385180 which would allow you to moderate your held messages through the API. I think this, with a convenient script is the best approach.

I will file a new bug for the discard-all-holds JS.
