We're doing a user survey, so if a project has 200 contributors, it will statistically have 10 times more survey participants than a 20 contributors project. Sure, statistics don't always work, but if we don't trust statistics, we shouldn't do a survey.

Well, forcing the user to chose between existing options is not necessarily bad IMHO. It at least avoids free-form answers like "I'm doing almost exactly option b) but I don't call it this way so I didn't tick b)".
