Unlike a few of the people here, I agree with you.  The squeaky wheel
gets the grease as they say.  However, running a petition may not be the
absolute best way to get-r-done as they say. 

There is an issue in the Bugzilla that ANYONE can vote on to raise its
status and possibly its priority.  There should be a similar issue in
the Issue Tracker for PunkBuster stating that PB does not play well with
Wine.  If it is possible to vote on that issue, then do it.  Let the
rest of the world know about the issue so that we can all go and vote. 
That gets much more attention than an independent petition ever will.
