I agree with Jordan.

Some IRC meetings I've seen use a wiki page as an aid to keep track of
the schedule.  We could use the announcement in the mailing list as well
and send a reply with the resolutions below the quoting.

They, also have some moderator giving voice to people in turn so there's
no cross-talking.  But I'd not be too strict on this, it's not really as
annoying as interrupting a speaker.

People are supposed to answer with several short sentences to minimize
the delay.  To mean that they're actually finished answering, they say
something like "GA".
