Who's behind this survey / it's not clear to me from looking at the survey page. Also kind of odd for a survey about Emacs to require nonfree JavaScript.

That's a great question. Whois does not provide any identifying information (other than Google as the registrar) for the domain, and the site appears to be hosted on the Google cloud.
It would be interesting to have such information. Perhaps if someone involved is here on HN, they could share that information?

I'd note that while the online form does require javascript (and that it's non-free is noted on the page), you aren't required to use it. Rather you also have the option to download the survey template and email it to the group.
