Same happened to me I got an email today about giveaways ended a week ago. Normally you get notified immediately after the giveaway has ended. I'd be fine with this feature although I don't believe it will be implemented as there are much more pressing issues which aren't taken care of for years.

I likewise just got an email today for last week's giveaways. I had already given keys and all winners had marked the games as received. Clearly it was a bigger SG burp than I had thought.

I think there was some glitch delaying notifications. I just now got a notification of a giveaway that ended six days ago (fortunately I'd noticed and sent the giveaway at the time, but it would have been easy to miss.)
Either way an auto-send-key option would be useful. As I recall the manual confirmation dates back to when it was easier to win a giveaway for a game you'd just won elsewhere, so gifters often wanted to check that the recipient didn't already have the game; now that's not as necessary, since Steamgifts will remove you from giveaways from previously-won games automatically.

I can totally get filtering out bad apples. Maybe the auto send could have an option to notify you of the user's violations or put people on a soft block list where you can review them.

That's why we're given 7 days. SG sends you an email as well as notifications, but at the end of the day it's up to the user to do the final legwork/button-press.
I would never want the automatic sending of keys personally - I like to check the winner first. But if this is an option you can turn on rather than opt-out of then, sure, why not.

I vote pro auto-giveaway after a time limit for key-based giveaways. It could be an optional feature.

Look I'm super busy with work, so apparently I missed my giveaways ending. One of them was marked not received, and I only got a notification of them ending today a week after.
Please consider adding a way to auto send keys to winners and just let them contact me if there's a region issue or something else wrong.
