Well, but from the 24hours, I can normally only spend about 1-3 hours
for e-Mails. And checking a lengthy discussion and reading first the new
e-Mails and then writing your opinion/answers takes often more time,
since there's also private e-Mails to answer.

No, but I don't think that you can call an informal agreement by about
10-20 people discussing something on debian-devel a consensus for
Debian. Especially since we have a lot more developers and a consensus
should have been discussed or agreed by at least a quarter of the
developers.

Yes, but did you also not the unfriendly tone and demand inside e-Mails?
If you ask friendly or offer help things often change a lot more faster,
then either being unfriendly or even offering no help.
