As a user, this would be much appreciated.  I recently went to create a ML 
for the newly-created AllTray users group on Launchpad, and I had to wait 
quite some time.  It had honestly made me think maybe I should have set 
something up myself, but once I'd asked about it on launchpad-users, 
someone approved it pretty quickly.

Still, being automatic and just checking up on things after-the-fact would 
be ideal, I think.  I shouldn't think it'd be terribly hard to do it in 
such a way that there would be a "queue" of already-reviewed lists so that 
if the desire to review them all is still there, they could just do the 
review after the list is (automatically) created.
