I have 7 committers to the project plus myself who will need to be speakers during the call, unfortunately that does not leave much room for others for this first call. We can use IRC as a back-channel and ansure viewpoints are aired & heard on the call.
Yeah, the Hangouts are more about high-bandwidth for the speakers, not as much about shared participation back to the community. But as you say, you can run it podcast-live-recording style, have folks on the meeting also in the IRC channel and responding to questions there. That might be nicer anyway than having 100 people with voice trying to speak over each other on the Hangout.
A Q&A app can also be enabled before starting a hangout-on-air (the broadcast version) so users accessing it via the Google+ stream can submit questions back to the broadcasters. They appear in a separate pane inside the hangout and the person hosting can select them to answer, which links the question/answer during playback. Other viewers can also see and "+1" questions.
The main problem is that the delay of the stream (anywhere up to a minute) and the slight delay (10/20 seconds?) of the Q&A app means that it isn't immediate, so expect to see questions bubble up at the end, or shortly after a topic has been discussed.
Here's an example from Foreman, click the "nine squares" icon in the top right, then Q&A and you can skip to answered questions.
