See below for a survey we ran on the listserv in November 2019. We received 40 responses out of a community of 378 342 listserv subscribers, so ~10.5%.
~12% response rate.
This is not bad for a first time, and we may want to make this annual to get trend lines.
There are several ways in which these results can be read, and I would encourage us to not read too much into them.
If we assume that these are representative of the community i.e. without significant bias, then I think it generally shows a project trying to encourage contributions with some challenges.
