I like the concept of it but there are some issues with the site itself:

- you make users sign the petition of the idea of the whole concept and
then show the list under each bug. I might support the cause but I don't
necessarily see each bug as a bug. If it is not in context then the list
of names is redundant on the bug pages.
- Bug 1, Bug 2 and Bug 3 doesn't tell me much - if I want to know what
is going on these links should be the description of the bug
- Having a bug list in the right hand column doesn't scale at all - if
there are 20 bugs you'll already run out of space
- The page looks dated and uninviting (I know this is a personal taste
thing but design has moved on a bit) - why don't you offer the page
itself on github so people could provide styling?
