That's why you shouldn't just rewrite it on your own devices. The better way is to get in touch with the maintainer and become part of the project. Maybe there are good reasons why refactoring some portion of the code in certain ways is perhaps not the best idea?

If you absolutely want to fix their codebase, you can do that I suppose. But trying to make friends with a stranger just to get your PR eventually accepted is not nearly as interesting as just saving yourself all that trouble by just implementing the thing from scratch.
