I receive an average of one academic survey a week. I think it's a terrible
shame that computer science academia has descended to the same level as the
worst spammers, scraping emails and sending them unsolicited "research"
emails, without a mote of personal thought/engagement.

I receive a few of these kinds of emails privately (I’m assuming they
scrape my email from git history). On one hand I think it might be
appropriate to post something like this to the developers mailing list if
it was specifically targeted to Django, and it’s definitely good to help
with research.
Dear Django contributor,
We are doing research on understanding how developers manage a special kind
of Technical Debt in *Python.*
We kindly ask 15-20 minutes of your time to fill out our survey. To help
you decide whether to fill it in, we clarify two points.
“Why should I answer this survey?”
