The more we have, the more informed we can be.  We could poll _all_
users, and still summarise answers according to whether they have
ever contributed, and whether they are “active”.  The ultimate agreement
(or not) should be from anyone who has contributed anyway, and we don’t
want to dissuade new users so we’d like to know how they feel too.
