Support for delayed jobs was recently merged - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/53315/ 

We're planning to the jobqueue backend from mysql to redis with the release of 1.21wmf13, and it will include delayed job support.  It would be great if wikidata utilizes this for change propagation once it becomes available in a couple weeks.
