This is a policy/political problem, then, and not a technology issue.
If developers push sloppy, cranky code into a production environment and
they're not held accountable for the results, well...

Options:

1/ replace the offending developers with people who understand and
follow best practices.  Supplement this crew with a rigorous testing/QA
phase to smoke out any honest mistakes.
(If this is a vended/third-party app, put pressure on the vendor.)

2/ Do a CVS pull and use/distribute your own "Thread-Cleanup Tomcat."
(Sounds like you already know where to make your change.)

3/ Try to sway the Tomcat developers into folding #2 into the mainline
code.   
(Good luck.)

Should #3 pass, I suspect the next request would be for a "JDBC
connection cleanup Tomcat" ;)
