Maybe it would be good if the control of LW would be handed over to someone who cares more about running it.
I never meet EY in person, so I don’t know to what extend he might be willing to hand LW over. It’s likely a conversation to be had private in person with him.
I could be wrong but I would estimate that changing control of LW is basically about convincing EY.
The last time I discussed this with Trike Apps, their position was that LW is owned by MIRI, and thus Nate Soares is the final authority. I nevertheless expect that convincing EY is a key component of any competent plan.
I predict there will be a in-person conversation about this in roughly a week.
Since it’s now been two weeks, I’m late for an update: many in-person conversations happened. There are a few follow-up ones to have online (at least one of which will have to wait until Burning Man is over), and then I’ll post about it here on LW.

LW isn’t controlled by Eliezer, it’s controlled by MIRI.
From my perspective it’s hard to tell how their internal agreement is. Have you spoken to Eliezer or MIRI personally about who’s controlling LW?
No, but I know who owns the domain name and I rather doubt EY personally pays for hosting.
I think the hosting is still done by Trike Apps.
