What are the possible solutions to this issue?

Does OSM or OSMF has an open platform to host future surveys software to 
be used by the community?

It's been more than a year since it was recommended by The FOSS Policy 
Special Committee [0] of the OSMF to extend the use of their Limesurvey 
instance "to all groups in OSMF for complex surveys and to rely on the 
Forms App included in /Nextcloud/ for more simple polls, to protect the 
data of survey participants."

Would it be feasible for OSM to have a similar -maybe self-hosted- 
instance of LimeSurvey that can be used by all the community, per request?

I envision this achievable with a simple form in any or the existent 
platforms (wiki, discourse, mailing list, email) directed to the 
/LimeSurvey/ instance admin, whether this is a person or team, and 
decision-making on who can create/edit surveys for OSM-purposes could 
have some basic criteria, keen to discuss further.
