would be nice if you could set the time of mutes and gags like bans.

Fun, absolutely.
Practical, not so much.
Though an interesting fun idea, it complicates things adding time (to anything)
To have the time stored across server sessions (map changes/server restarts, etc), or across player sessions (join/leave/rejoin), you'd have to write the time to a file.
Storing admins and bans across those same sessions is often challenging and error prone enough - Personally, I do not see the benefit vs support requirement of adding the code.
