Sounds like what we really need is Auto Flaps, or Auto Spoiler that reads the VASI,s and adjusts the spoilers as required, then deploys up-flaps as soon the squat switch says your down. That way the pilot is free to pick lint balls out of his naval during approach!

I always let go of the spoilers on my ASH 26 E after touching down to dump the
flaps, then move my hand back to the spoilers. I've never noticed spoilers
closing, and the handle seems to be where I left it. My ASW 20 C acted the same
way, so I thought all gliders were like that.
