There is no built-in function to provide this type of report. There are
probably
several ways to attack this problem; here are two suggestions.

1. If most lists are configured to maintain changelogs, you may be able
to
    obtain the information you need from the changelog files for the
individual
    lists. You will need to retrieve a copy of the changelog file for
each list,
    store all of the changelog files in one location, and write a script
to
    extract the required information from the changelog files.

2. If most lists have archives, write a script to walk the list archives
tree
    and return the modification date for the most recent log file for
each list.

Both suggestions rely on configuration settings which may not be in use
on some
lists, so neither is guaranteed to produce a complete report.
