I also just completed it.  I missed the fact that it had a deadline
associated with it.  I'm not sure who much information I really provided
though since one normally needs to get a group of people to a) agree on term
definitions and b) get calibrated to each other or to some standard for the
evaluations to mean anything.  I also went back and deleted all my stability
scores since my original understanding of the textual description was almost
exactly what was asked in the later maintainability question.

It's also strange that v18.1 or whatever the first MDR release was is left
out since that's one of the most significant from an architectural change
point of view (unless I'm mis-remembering my versions).

Good luck with the paper.  It'll be interesting to see how the tools'
outputs compare with developers' subjective views.  If you're designing
something like this in the future, you might consider asking developers who
various subsystems/modules compare with each other, in their view, and then
comparing the relative measures with relative quantitative measures.  That
might help with your baseline calibration issue.
