These look all fine to me. I'd put in one more steps:
3.5 Summarize the arguments so far (by the topic starter or anyone else
eager for it)
Depending how complex the discussion gets, this has to be done more
than once.
Step 5 and 7 should as well be in the responsibility of the topic
starter, again if nobody else wants to do it. It should be clear that
if you feel a topic is worth serious discussion and the time of many
other people thinking and posting about it, one has to take
responsibilty.
Maybe this will also limit the number of active topics and help focus
forces.

If there are other people up for it, sure. As long as their conclusions
are summarized in a mailing list posting and are discussed there like
any other. The means of communication is not relevant, only the
results.
