Oh... this must be a new feature in 2.1.11?
I am still running 2.1.9
Sorry to offer you features mailman already has.

My excuse: my auto-deattach-feature is several years old. I only found now
the time to announce it.

My filter does a full text search over all mails of the last 2 weeks.

I can send it to everyone who is interested. 
I do not want to put it online because the documentation is not good enogh.
I first want to see if there is really interest in my filter, then I will
enhance the documentation. Writing documentation no one will read is
maximum boring :-)
