On my machine there's a branch of lp:mailman/stable, and then a checkout from that branch. I've then symlinked to a directory (messages/) in that checkout. If there's a way to cron-ify the publication of that checkout back to launchpad, that would be most excellent. I would just set that up once and it could run nightly.
