I disagree. IMO it is absolutely the composer's responsibility to
indicate the pedalling in any harp part, whether by diagram or by the
older method of writing in the pitch names.
As for harpist's preferring to do it themselves, I can only cite the
example of Lejaren Hiller, whose music I publish and who never bothered
with pedalling diagrams. On one extracted harp part, the harpist
pencilled in the note "Jerry, harps have pedals!" I add pedalling
diagrams to the harp parts in all my editions of his work.

There are at least 2 active harpists (and teachers) on the SibList,

their consensus is that harpists would much prefer to enter their own
diagrams, in the forms they prefer, and put them where they want
them.
Unless you are an experienced harpist yourself, the better part of
valor
might be to avoid putting in your own.

I agree.
