Automatic suspension of admins who have been inactive after a certain period 
sounds like a prudent idea - and also of admins who turn inactive after posting 
any kind of "resignation" message. By all means allow them to be re-activated 
on request without going through RFA .

It's expecting a bit much of RFA to not just pass only people who are 
suited for the job, but also pass only that subset which will never 
ever become burned out or embittered or angry or gullible or...in the 
indefinite future. 

The difficult first task they do immediately, but the impossible will 
take a little longer. 

On the other hand, this might prompt an inactive-deadminning 
guideline, which might be a good thing.
