The survey is probably not a bad idea.
I just looked at this list: http://tools.neis-one.org/tmp/20150425-20150505_Nepal_NewContributorsOSM.txt , which contains 3175 records. I have cross tabulated the number of mapping days against the day of the first edit for all records for the number of change sets. As you can see, 76% stick with it for one day and only 16% hang in for the second day. Sorry about the table formatting, it didn't survive the pasting very well summation point
Of course, there could be many reasons for this attrition. Busy people may feel that they have done their duty after one day, etc.

Anyway, I would be happy to assist with the survey, at least part time. I have done a little bit of serving in the past. The sample question areas look like a good starting point. The open/comment type questions are good that they can be an information gold mine but do require a lot of manual analysis.
Not sure if this is pertinent but I have been advised to host surveys and other sensitive material outside of the United States as data may be susceptible to seizure under their Patriot Act. Not sure if this is an issue, the Patriot Act may expire in June I believe.

I would be happy to assist with the survey. However, one of the obstacles is how to contact the new mappers. I believe we can get the user names that would be included in a survey, but how do we contact them? The only way I know is to send each one a separate message. With the number of people to survey that seems overwhelming.Â
At one time I did create an AWS instance of Limesurvey [1], an open source survey software. With Linesurvey a fairly sophisticated survey can be created. Plus it handles presenting the survey in multiple languages.Â
