Bollocks. For example in Germany, online petitions on a government run website that reach a certain threshold of people signing are automatically discussed in parliament.
And in the Firefox case here, no idea what they are planning but they could for example hand over the printed out signatures or dump them in the politicians post box or whatever. Have some fantasy.
Same thought train like people claiming a protest march does nothing. You couldn't be more wrong. Making your opinion heard and showcasing how many people are with you has impact.
In fact, I'll turn your logic upside down: if your protest didn't get the result you wanted, you just didn't mobilize enough people (or not enough people cared for your cause)
Absolutely, to my mind a community for an app is useful to discuss and give feedback on how you use the app individually, what could be better or different, etc. And then once you got consensus take it to GitHub and make an issue for an enhancement or an issue since that is how the developers over there keep track of these things.
Things that are obviously bugs can go straight to GitHub. But I get that not having an account over there is a hurdle.
