def deliver_pending(request):
'''
Find notifications in Queue state and deliver to all recipients. We actually
do two things here: 1) Created a Delivered record in our own Notifications app,
so we have a custom record that can be displayed in the widget, which the user
can check off as completed, etc.; and 2) Deliver a system message via Postman.
The get_members() method on DynamicList aggregates all logical recipients.
Django-Postman lets us save a Message instance and takes care of delivery.
This function is never accessed by users - superusers and cron jobs only.
Superusers can trigger delivery without cron by accessing /notifications/deliver_pending
