Ed & Malcolm are correct, I have just looked at the details of the petition, and it appears that to be valid, it should have a closing date, perhaps someone could contact the petition organiser and suggest he add a closing date, maybe a month or so from now.It apears that if all the requirements are complied with, then the government have to acknoweledge the petition and respond to it.The reason for giving an address is so that it can be checked, perhaps against names on the voters role? It is going well, there are already well over 300 entries on it.
