For Daily-threshold holds this might work.  A script to process this could even
be written (an exercise for the student...)

However, there are a number of other reasons for a list to go on hold that
require manual intervention/correction (e.g. exceeding directory quotas, file
system errors, etc) before the list is released or freed so a general purpose
Free command might not work as expected.

List Owners who go on vacation need assistant Owners to cover their off-time.
