Is there a Write API in works ?.

I doubt it. Easily 10X the amount of spam and low quality posts HN would have to deal with.
What makes you think that getting a write api will significantly increase spam? I don't think the current system of submitting a HTML form (essentially a POST) is a high barrier to begin with.
Try [email protected] if nobody publicly answers.
I've emailed Scott a few times about HN bugs and he's very responsive. I'm curious to hear what he says.
