No idea, whoever wrote the presets for potlatch probably thinks it's a good 
idea but did not read the wiki.

Then RTFW, it's on the map features page and source=survey is "a core 
recommended feature set and corresponding tag" and states:

source | survey | gpx track or other physical survey

If you feel that it needs to be amplified that the survey is from gps then add 
"survey=gps" or "note=survey by gps", this is the intent of the "add your own 
tags".

But most would understand that it's from a gps survey rather than using 
theodolite/compass and chain/etc
