Yes, I will offer separate channels (that can be separately analyzed, and that you can get anonymous data for specific channel) for every organization and/or company that want's it (within reason)... this time with names anonymized from start (unless requested not to).

This is somewhat present in current version of survey, namely there is question about *types* of tools (with git repository management, git hosting tools and code review tools included), and there is free-form question asking to enumerate tools one uses. That is, as above, but more generic, and not multiple choice.

I will think about adding such question.
