The survey was also shared by @java to its many followers, fwiw:

https://twitter.com/java/status/961296752732135424?s=20

and through the OpenJDK Quality Outreach to the many projects 
participating there:

https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/quality-discuss/2018-February/000749.html

If you'd like to get regular information about upcoming JEPs, bug fixes, 
surveys etc. please consider joining the Quality Outreach for your open 
source project by joining the mailing list quality-discuss, and asking 
there to be added to the list.

Please see

details on participating projects, reports, etc.

cheers,
