Comment:

 A quick and dirty hack would be to modify wp-includes\comment.php so line
 428 changes from


 {{{
 if ( isset($userdata) && ( $user_id == $post_author ||
 $user->has_cap('moderate_comments') ) ) {
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 if ( isset($userdata) && ( $user->has_cap('moderate_comments') ) ) {
 }}}

 Realistically any change to this is more an enhancement, since the
 behavious as is is "correct" in most cases.  I expect it wouldn't be
 impossible to make it configurable as to whether post authors are or are
 not automatically approved.
