The literal meaning of "call to arms" is a call for soldiers to take up
their armaments and be ready to use them. As an idiomatic metaphor, it
means "there's something that we need to go fight, so let's all get
ready and go fight it." This seems to me perfectly appropriate for a
situation in which code-bugs are growing in little-trafficked corners
and in need of a concentrated squashing effort.
