If you have no experience with LScript, it is going to take some time.

Your first step is going to be to have a view of all processed documents, sorted by processing date. Your script will need to iterate through that view, one document at a time. The code to do that will look like this :

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim view As NotesView
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim olddoc As NotesDocument

Set db = session.currentdatabase
Set view = db.getview("viewname")
Set doc = view.GetFirstDocument
Do While Not(doc Is Nothing)

At this point, with your document you will need to check the last processing date, the status of the document and decide whether or not to send a notification. I cannot really give a code example for that without knowing a lot more about your document structure and your workflow.
After treating your document, you will need to iterate to the next document and wrap up treatment with something like this :

Set olddoc = doc
Set docdoc = view.GetNextDocument(olddoc)
Delete olddoc
Loop

Don't forget to save the document before going to the next one if you made any changes to its content.

Good luck !

I've got nothing to hide, and I'd very much like to keep that away from prying eyes.
