,
True.  So responses wouldn't tell us the full story.

But first, never/rarely/sometimes/often/always doesn't fit IMHO here.

Second, the situation is more complicated: one can be actively involved
in 1 distributed project with 200+ contributors via Gerrit, often contribute
to 1 centralized project with 15-25 contributors, and rarely interact with
distributed project using "blessed" repository workflow where number
of contributors range from few to few hundred.  Too complicated for
survey IMHO.

Third, no other in matrix form.
