You have two whitelist files. One file is manually updated with addresses of people you know and want to correspond with. The second file is auto-updated using the CONFIRM-APPEND option. This second file tends to fill up over time with addresses of people you corresponded with only once and may never hear from again. With timestamps in the list, you could write a script to go through the file and remove any entry with a timestamp greater than a certain age. You could write the script to do as much or as little checking as you want before removing an entry. Any address that you know you want to keep you would move to the first whitelist file.
To make this useful, TMDA would have to update the timestamp whenever mail was received from or sent to an address in a list file. I don't know if it's convenient for TMDA to do this or if it would have to go out of its way. This behaviour could be restricted only to the list files you want with a new configuration option.
Opinions anyone?

But not in conjunction with the auto-database flags.
