As you've stated the problem, there isn't an existing automated way  
to do it.  Digests are typically configured to be sent periodically  
(by a cron job that by default runs once per day).

However, you could:
- set nondigestable=No on the non-digest options page to prevent  
users from subscribing to individual messages
- you may want to increase digest_size_threshold if you really want  
all approved messages to be in a single digest
- after you have approved the messages, manually run:
    ~mailman/cron/senddigests -l listname
    to force the delivery of a digest at that time (or wait for the  
next cron-invoked digest sending)
