I have a post about Recurring Posts. Some of these would be easier to automate than others.
Several are just a repost of the same text, although doing by hand, occasionally I add extra tidbits. But it should be pretty simple to program "Post this text once a week" compared to things that have to be compiled in some way. The followfriday gather post is always the same text, just copied and pasted by whoever gets to it first each week.
Then there are things compiled the same way predictably. The Monday Update posts have links to posts on my blog from the previous Wednesday-Sunday.
Other things, like Review Tuesday or What I Ate, might be compiled from somewhere else the writer posts things and turned into a linklist in Dreamwidth.
Those kinds of gathers would probably be harder to code, but might be doable -- and I've seen a lot of people making posts that are basically just lists of stuff like that.
