Is the idea to get as many people as possible to sign this? Or do we want to avoid the image of a giant LW puppy jumping up and down while barking loudly, when the matter finally starts getting attention from serious people?

After the first few pages of signatories, I recognize very few of the names, so my guess is that LW signers will just get drowned in the much larger population of people who support the basic content of the research priorities document, which means there's not much downside to lots of LWers signing the open letter.
