auto-pruning mailman messages held for approval

[Matt_Domsch at Dell.com]

+1 to auto-discard after a period of time (I'm ok with >= 30 days; choose as you see fit).  +1 to suggesting to list admins to set auto-discard on their own lists if they aren't going to pay attention to the nagmails.

As for the four or five lists that I run/co-run, I/we usually don't
even look into those held messages because that will take so much
time.
Just if this helps.
