First of all Nigel has a great solution: include a second list as a member of the first list and let the second list's archives be weekly.
Second, not every Mailman guru reads the list on a daily basis - and they certainly don't cruise the archives looking for problems that haven't been solved - soooo... I think it is perfectly legitimate to wait a few days or a week and resubmit a question.
