I would be very glad if you could write something.

I am not sure whether a formal petition is really necessary (although
I have it very interesting to learn that websites devoted to the
purpose actually exist ... :)

The Axiom website is a wiki (user editable), so it would be very
easy to add a page consisting of the petition to Free Aldor. We
could freeze the text and then readers could "sign" it by simply
adding a comment.
