Petition Demo/Feature for Webforms

The Petition module has not been ported from Drupal 6, the Petitions distribution has not been ported from Drupal 7, leaving not much of an upgrade path, most likely because Webforms has grown and can likely handle serving as a petition system with some improvements.

The missing pieces are:

• Counter - A token available on the Webform's node to serve as a public counter the number of submissions to use as "### signatures" or for other use cases "### tickets," etc.
• Display Signatures - the Webform needs per field permissions for users by role such that elements like first name, last name and zip code can be displayed to anonymous users, with more information to other roles based on trust. This can be accomplished through Webform Views Integration though issues with Title being passed with the Element would need to be cleared up along with an ability to select just Unique values to avoid duplication of a submission.
• Import Signatures - online petitions often have in real life (IRL) counterparts that should be included in the Webform for a proper count and analysis.

For the time being Webform works well for petitions so long as members of the public don't need to see the signatures or the count.
