One small step that Eliezer could take with regard to (4), I think, would be to renounce his right to decide which posts are featured and make it entirely dependent on post score.

The "top" page is already entirely dependent on post score. I'd strongly prefer that there stay some kind of editorial filter on some aspect of LW; we're doing great right now as a community, but many online communities start out high-quality and then change as their increased popularity changes the crowd and the content.
