Your request seems reasonable, and I think it can accommodated without too much difficulty. For example, each user can set a "vacation" option, which if turned on, will cause every unanswered comment directed at that user to receive a "I'm away from this blog" status response.
I do not like autoresponders.
Something that could be done unintrusively and without manual intervention from users is some indicator that the author has not logged in recently. eg. A change in color somewhere, an asterix, etc.
I like this idea, whether or not any other suggestions are put into practice, though I suggest that there be a way to opt out of using it (with a different/complementary signal that you're doing so, rather than showing as always or never active) - there are periods when I only have the time or energy to skim the blog, but not comment, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds themselves in that position or simply prefers privacy.
I agree. You shouldn't be expected to manually delete your cookies in order to manipulate activity indicators.
