Comment(by renatosilva):

 You can set your status with /away and that's done in the background when
 you use the away status in the global status list. Clients can perform a
 /whois for checking that.

 If it's boring to check one's status with /whois, that's a client issue.
 As for Pidgin, I think it could use a gray color or something, see the
 away on demand suggestion in #14743. That bug is related because it was
 caused by a "periodic who" afaik willing to keep track of everyone's
 status.
