You'd want to post this into the Suggestions forum.

Thanks!

How do our weekly updates go out?
Is it a module that could be adapted/made available?

They are a custom part of the marketplace backend, so a new module would need to be created. This feature is called a "drip campaign" and it's something I've wanted to add to the newsletter, but it's just not been done yet.

Off the top of my head. You could put a listener

"Events and Listeners"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1011/events-and-listeners

in for the modules you want to keep an eye on. Listen for the update of them and when they are updated, add that item to your modules datastore.

There is another event 'daily_maintenance'
Quote: 'daily_maintenance', 'Fired once a day after midnight server time')

Listen for that event and check if its been 7 days since the last mail got sent out (or whatever time interval you want).

When the time interval is up, get all the latest stuff out of your modules datastore and send the email.

The one on JR here is a custom module that runs off the daily_maintenance listener, like Michael has outlined.
