One thing I used to do to maintain listlist.py was every nine months or so, I'd manually go through the database and prune lists that hadn't been posted to in the past three months. This sounds like an activity that could be automated if we have a lot of spare development cycles!

One way that it could work is, every time a list hasn't been posted to in ${INACTIVITY_TIME}, send an automated email to all its recipients (with the reply-to being the list itself) that says the list will be removed due to inactivity in a week unless someone replies, thus resetting the inactivity timer.

Requires last_sent_time to update correctly in order to work. I fixed that today, so we should be able to do this in three months.
