I admit a “coordination survey” sounds like it’s asking “who is going to do this (giving people the option of signing themselves up for something)” or “how are we going to do this” (what’s the next step) or “how much would we have to pay you to do this”/”how much are you willing to pay someone to do this”(Pairing people up/Patreon/kickstarter).
I think if it’s clear up front that you’re not asking for “information” but asking “who wants to do this?” then that isn’t being manipulative—provided the survey is appropriately marked “coordination”, or “signing up for X”.
Someone could do a survey to see how people feel about it, and/or what alternate names they would like better, which could be iterated into the next version of the survey.
