I think this suggestion is quite good. I don't know about networks having ChanServ or something like that, but within a small channels in IRCnet it happens often like this: a channel has only two or three ops, and they disconnect. When they rejoin, the channel has ran out of ops. Then operators ask others to leave the channel and only one operator stays on the channel and uses /hop after everyone else have left. If this could be done automatically, risk, that somebody joins the channel while the only person in the channel (the real operator) is away, would be eliminated. Of course this isn't very common problem, but some small channels suffer from this.
In my opinion, too, this problem can be solved with a script. But I wouldn't reject original suggestion
