Sadly, this functionality doesn't exist today. 

You could write an external tool that runs on a schedule and checks the
objects inactive time (I can't remember the attribute name sorry), and
that could run the notification process.

We already have the process internally for automatic inactivation, so I
think you just need the notification step.

It's not a good idea to "remove" the account because you want to
prevent UID reuse.

Imagine you have "admin" with uidnumber = 1000. You delete this, and
you get a new user and you reuse uidnumber = 1000. Now your new user
can access the old resources of "admin" ...

So it's better to just disable them and leave them there to prevent
security risks of reuse of uidnumber and uid. 

Hope that helps!
