Would it be possible that the proposal & amendment submitters could agree on some text to go along with the call for votes (linked from the ballot, for example), giving a summary and the key arguments (with links to threads) for each side? I think such a brief summary would benefit a lot of people who cannot spare the time to read all associated text. The Q&A can then either find hiatusses in this summary and improve it, or if it is held before such summary is written, can act as a foundation for it (maybe it'll prove possible to write this summary live during the Q&A). A key point in getting a popular vote on some issue is, after all, having the electorate adequately informed about the contents of it. In Debian it's hardly ever a problem of lacking discussion, but nevertheless the problem exists in a different form -- lacking an 'exutive' summary of the discussion.
