+1, the few times I have it happen, it wasn't impressive at all, but
made you more cynical of the recent more tolerated IETF process of
"rubber stamping" and "fast tracking" documentation production,
RFC documents are made pretty fast now, and now a good bit are
proposed standards! Why bother with Informational and Experimental
any more -- a waste of time.

Is it useful for authors of a draft to send messages saying things

I'm not asking whether it's right or wrong, just whether such
a message helps the WG Chairs in evaluating consensus.
I raised this last year on the wg chairs mailing list. I personally
don't find it very helpful, although others have indicated that a
*lack* of support from authors would be interesting.
I generally don't like things that smack of voting, and that includes
"I support" messages that contain no other information.
