Looking for a WordPress plugin

I’m looking to add ‘content review’ type functionality into WordPress. In in idea would it would work like this:

When authoring a post/page:
The plugin would prompt, by means of a form field, for a content review date. This date will be the date that the content needs to be reviewed for accuracy/relevance. For example 6 Months, 1 year or 5 years after publication.

On the public facing website:
The post meta data would include the review date.

On the content review date for a specific post:
The plugin would send an email to the content/post/page owner prompting them to log into the website, review the content and set a new review date.

Does anyone know of such a plugin that has the above of similar functionality? I’m working on a proposal for a small organization and such functionality would be the cherry on the cake.

If no plugin exists, how difficult would it be to write such a plugin?
