O.K.

I wonder if I should do the same for Guilt (formerly gq = Git Queues)...

The goal of including Cogito and pg (Patchy Git), of course with strong
warning about it being DEPRECATED, was to check if many people use it,
even when they should not (because it is unmaintained).

Cogito had 14 replies, and pg 2 replies last survey (for 2681 responders).

Put perhaps it is time to lay this answer to rest...

It would be a bit before starting survey.  Most work would be announcing
the survey, I think.  Any ideas for channels I forgot last year?

Well, perhaps I should add "What features would you like to see in Git?"
free-form question.  Mind you, I don't guarantee that it would be ever
analyzed... :-)
