 * Is it possible to have a default archive date? I’d like every post to automatically
   expire one week after being published.

 * This is not a current option, and not on the current roadmap at this stage. So
   your options are either to add the date manually or write some code to filter
   save_post to add the appropriate date, via add_post_meta. Hopefully this gives
   you enough for you to write your own fix. Its easy enough but its not really 
   a bug fix.
 * It would take me 20 minutes to write the code. Happy to do, but this is a bit
   more than simple support so i’d charge a small fee (USD 20). I hope you understand
