+1 on the auto-delete. I have a lot of boxes running Mailman that I periodically have to go into to clean out stuff, and having more junk pile up, while helpful for debugging, isn't great for production.

If this is deemed "Important" (for anyone upgrading over the next year or
more), and if this cleaning process is well-defined and capable of
mechanisation, then might it be worth superseding 2.1.10 with a "2.1.10a" (or 2.1.11 or whatever nomeclature is appropriate) that automatically does
this cleaning?


I think this is a good idea. If I had remembered about the unparseable
.bak files, and thought it through, I could have added code to
bin/update to remove them, and I still can for a fix-up release.

Also, In another thread, Barry asked for feedback on "some kind of
shunt queue culler cron script". I think this is a good idea, either
for a separate cron, or incorporated into one of the existing crons.

How about something like a couple of Default config settings like

BAD_SHUNT_ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY = None
BAD_SHUNT_STALE_AFTER = days(7)

With the idea being anything in the 'bad' or 'shunt' queues older than
BAD_SHUNT_STALE_AFTER would be discarded or moved to
BAD_SHUNT_ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY if it existed.

Do people like this idea?

+1, but I think it should be a separate cron script. Keep 'em small and simple!
