(Since 11 July)

A warning now shows when you try to create a new RfA, as well as on transclusion, with suggested reading material and pointing out that users should not undertake an RfA lightly. See Template:Editnotices/Page/Wikipedia:Requests for adminship for an example.
To encourage those editors who would make good admins, but are unwilling to put themselves forward, a new process has been created WP:Request an RfA nomination. The editors there are willing to review candidates, and either write an RfA nomination for them, or explain to why they believe the candidate is currently unsuitable.
Kudpung's very helpful essay, WP:Advice for RfA candidates has been moved to wikipedia space, which makes it more "official" and will increase it's profile.

None as yet

Clerks - a proposal for a new role to oversee the RfA process, similar to Arbcom clerks.
Minimum requirement - a (perennial) proposal to put in a minimum requirement to apply for adminship.

These are still at the drawing board, and need more work before bringing to the community
