   04. Which programming languages you are proficient with?
       (The choices include programming languages used by git)
       (zero or more: multiple choice)
     - C, shell, Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk
     + (should we include other languages, like C++, Java, PHP,
        Ruby,...?)

Yes, I think this should be a long list.

I'd rather not have a "laundry list" of languages.  I have put C++ 
because QGit uses it, Java because of egit/jgit, PHP for web 
interfaces, Ruby because of GitHub and because of Ruby comminity 
choosing Git.  I should perhaps add Emacs Lisp, HTML+CSS and 
JavaScript here.  What other languages should be considered?

C# at least, since we had one (pretty unsuccessful) attempt at 
reimplementing Git in it.

What is the reason for the question? Do we want to know what languages
people would like to contribute to Git in or do we want to know what "kind"
of programmers are attracted by Git?  Making it a long list should make
it easier to tabulate the responses.

"could contribute" is more appropriate IMHO.  Although you might be right 
to ask "would like to contribute"... ;-)

I think it is both.  We would like to know what kind of programmers
(and non-programmers) are attracted to Git, and also what languages
could people contribute to Git.
