Hi Gris,

TL;DR: I'd say trying to do a survey through the ASF is not a very good
use of your time. 

We recently had a survey request that did not go well.  They posted to
the approved lists and got a very minimal response.  They then decided
that they would find/build/scrape/whatever a list of Apache email
addresses and spammed them.  That ended up with at least 2 dozen
complaints and several went just shy of IRB complaints to the university
that was involved.

I mention this not because you or the others involved would do such a
dastardly daring deed but rather to say, I don't think the ASF is a good
place to advertise such a survey.  The responses will likely be
statistically minimal AND people are likely a bit burned by the last
survey.  You won't* be allowed to email all the members and the lists
you will be allowed to email don't contain a very large or
representative sample of the ~700 members and ~7000 committers.

Regards,

KAM

* without the board's approval which I don't see occurring
