Well, I thought about that, so this checks two things, when was the last time they posted, and even if not posted when was the last time they comment. I purposely didn't look at votes or tx's as they could be automated.
and yes, if i had a decent list of autovoters (which right now I think is only hive.vote / steemauto), i could check the authority of each account to see if they were included.
Well, my thoughts are (I don't have time to do it though):
Retrieve the followers (or following) of a given user -
Aggregate a groupby of the "account_auths" under posting authorities (screenshot from block explorer)
Figure out which ones are belonging to auto vote services (or other services that enable them).
et voila, an adhoc piece of analysis, that if performed on all active chain users (as opposed to followers / following ) a % of who doesn't give their authority to an autovoter
I could try to do it through hivesql, and its on my list, but I don't know if you have the will or time to do it.
It is merely to satisfy my own curiosity about people who may intend to mislead about being manual curators, while having authorities still listed. No names in mind, just a thought exercise.
(and yes, I'm aware there's tons of ways to automate voting locally using scripts, and this method wouldn't catch it all)

But, I could easily add voting to the mix and mark it differently.
