You could probably replace 80% of this code with a call to
MemberEmailAddresses which you can find in Group_Overlay.pm

You have 2 options, cron job to add/remove that email from the group
or some date logic using either DateTime or RT::Date.  The DateTime
man page should have docs on how to find out the time of day.

There is also the Business::Hours CPAN module which you can probably
find examples of folks using in the mailing list archives or the wiki
or RTIR.  That lets you figure out if you're in or out of business
hours to add that extra email address.
