Yes you don't want to get into this, but this is the way we have had to 
do it until now. It's tricky, you have to look at last mail in the 
archive (but handle lists without archives), check the last time list 
config was changed, etc. Our scripts also have 3 thresholds, one at 
which the list is closed for being inactive, another at which inactive 
lists are considered dead and migrated to offline storage, and then 
another at which the offline storage is purged.

I would also like an "in sympa" solution for this, but I don't know 
quite what it would look like.
