Actually, this is already in since luci 0.23/RHEL 6.1 that initially (talking about a "new-gen" luci 0.20+) enabled user to configure some of the aspects of luci via /etc/sysconfig/luci, item from the summary being amongst them. It originated in upstream change related to RFE/bug #661386. But there are some catches: 1. such user configuration has not been documented yet: bug 731856 2. the first version we can expect to make discussed configuration item effective is RHEL 6.3 (not much desirably, things got stuck a bit in this regard): bug 639075 Apparently, this was filled mainly for smooth integration with the above bugs.
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: (preliminary) Since RHEL 6.3, luci authenticated session will automatically timeout after 15 (?) minutes. This period is customizable in /etc/sysconfig/luci by modifying "who.auth_tkt_timeout" parameter.
Another thing related to session timeout: Should we provide a graphic indication of time remaining? I've actually seen this on some sites.
