-1. This is mission creep. A cron job will serve perfectly well.
Something that assists in setting up such cron jobs (and/or generalizes to whatever weirdness Windows does instead of cron jobs) would be good as a contrib module, of course.
I disagree, not everyone who runs a list has access to the command line, and/or the means or ability to set up a Cron Job, so something through the Web UI would be useful!
This could potentially be a third-party add-on to the wui, but I don't think it belongs in the core Mailman project. Mailman certainly shouldn't be adding any functionality that duplicates cron.
