I would add the questions as:
+ the kind of contributions: patches, translation, bug report,
discussions on guix-devel or help-guix, else
+ the number of contributions using some ranges 1, [2-9], [10-100], 100+
+ channels of communication: IRC, guix-devel, help-guix, else (Reddit,
etc.)
+ contribution to other free software (patches, translation, bug
report)
+ editor of choice (as the survey from Haskell [1])
+ and maybe some other questions from [1] :-)
WDYT?
