The wiki says: "The people below, members of the GNOME Foundation, 
request that a referendum be held to reduce the board size from its 
current 11 members to 7."

I read this as "the people below request a referendum". I understand 
that all petitions for a referendum must include the thing that is going 
to be requested in the referendum. In this case, that would be a 
reduction in size of the board from 11 to 7.

And Ross is correct, "signed their support" meant "signed their support 
for the referendum".

Cheers,
Dave.
