I like this idea too, even though I only use the mailing list, not the
forum web interface. (If anything, it should at least reduce the number
of complaints about posts not being editable, that seems to crop up
every few months.)

I'm also on another (non-NNTP) forum where posts can only be edited up
to 15 minutes after the initial post, and it has worked very well so
far. I think anywhere from 5-15 minutes or thereabouts should be a
reasonably good default.
