Right. Even with experience doing this type of thing I constantly find myself having to search for the syntax rules to write the right parts of config to do what I want to do, and it's never a pleasant experience.

Could you please respond with the bug report number again? I know you're posted in on the list before, but I believe this would have much more benefit than petitions. It's good that you bring it up here, and it's good that you feel strongly about this, because with some additional work and by helping and inviting other users with the same issues to come up and let us know about it is how you can really drive this forward. Personally I'd be very interested in looking at the bug report to see if something can be distilled from it -- like a pattern of specific hardware that has the issue. My suggestion for you, without having seen the bug report yet, would be to ask the people who have signed your petition (if you can contact them again) to add information to your bug report with the make and model of monitor they use, as well as the make and model of graphics card. Opening new bugs and/or pointing to their own bug report is good too. That way we can know for sure whether you are part of a small group of unlucky people with Panashiba monitors that don't return valid EDID information, or a larger group of people with specialized equipment that we hadn't heard about before.
