Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Proposed Changes

Add a new management command (e.g. manage.py housekeeping) intended to be run nightly. This can take care of recurring tasks such as:

  • Deleting expired changelog records
  • Clearing out expired auth sessions
  • Recording usage statistics (for future purposes)

The installation and upgrade documentation will be updated to include creating a cron job to run this command nightly.

Justification

This would allow us to offload the pseudo-random clearing of expired changelog records from the middleware (see #6056), and provide a foundation for similar additional uses in future releases.
