The question of how such a discussion would be closed is what concerns me the most - I can't see allowing a meta bureaucrat to close such a poll (which is what we would do in en.wp), and since the Foundation would have to make the changes anyway... Would it be interpreted, then, by a developer?

Normally they are closed by Meta-wiki regulars, who all happen to be trusted to some extent on Meta and elsewhere. I'd probably give a discussion like this to a steward to close. Really though, any trusted person who hasn't voted can close it.
If there is a consensus, then it doesn't really need closing, the result should be obvious to everyone and a developer just needs to be informed. If there isn't a consensus to close the project, then nothing needs to happen.
