If survey is published, for example on Reddit, such survey is narrow
and specific to Reddit users, and would represent only that
communication channel.

My proposal on how to publish a survey is to include that in the Help
menu, and let people do it straight from Emacs. That is similar to bug
reporting, but it is not a bug, it is feature request.

Something like:

Tell us how we can improve?

in the Help menu, would lead to description as how RMS said, and from
there on, users would submit the email with their descriptions, likes,
hates, whatever they wish to say.

It could go straight to specific mailing list.
