This list is just the right place. :-)

I've tried to do as you say and went straight to your survey from reading the
mail. Unfortunately, the questions in the survey, though I absolutely
understand why you ask them, require a significant ammount of research to
answer truthfully. One would have to at least skim through thousands of
commits, since I have no good memory of what all happened in the timespan of
two years. I take it you are not just interested in new features added
because of GSoC, but all features added within the timespan.
Best regards,
