Hopefully they are working on all those things and more. Pentax needs to improve all areas, even video. The hope is to have a camera that fits more photographers and that means that there will be features that some of us won't use to increase broader sales.

Well, I think the whole point is how can Pentax do something to make their next cameras stand out. If they could do some type of hybrid OVF/EVF or could put some type of module in the auto focus system that would do eye auto focus, that certainly would help. Some of the ideas on this thread are clearly not feasible.
That said, I would hesitate to make too much of a big deal about the viewfinder. I just don't think most photographers focus that much on that and buy more based on other features that they think they will need (price/megapixels/frame rate/video) and the viewfinder is more of an afterthought. The only people who think about viewfinders a lot are the faithful posters on Forums like this one.

Modern cameras are the size they are because of a need to add features (SR/GPS/more auto focus points/more megapixels/faster frame rate/video/tiltable screens) all of which requires quite a bit of battery power. You can definitely shrink them down quite a bit, but you do so at the expense of buttons (meaning more menu diving) and battery life (meaning you bring more batteries with you for a photo shoot).
Ergonomics are a person specific thing and hard to comment on. I like Pentax's approach, but I have shot with their cameras for 15 plus years and am used to them. Someone who is coming from Canon or Sony probably wouldn't feel the same.
