discard old pending posts

[tkikuchi]

This short script will help you to discard old pending
posts.
I put it in cron dir and run daily with this crontab entry:
55 7 * * * /usr/local/bin/python -S
/home/mailman/cron/auto_discard | mail mailman-owner

I hope this idea is integrated in cron/checkdb. (sorry
I have no time to work now)

This would be cool to add to cron/checkdbs. Here are some ideas

- either have a MAX_REQUEST_AGE value in Defaults.py or a
max_request_age attribute on lists if you want this to be
different per-list (which might be a good idea since this is
dependent on how often the list admins clear their pendings)

- in the checkdbs message, keep a record of how many old
ones you expire and mention it in the user notification. e.g.

17 old requests automatically expired.

I'll mark this as for MM2.1 group, but it's really going to
be pushed back until the following release.
