Seems weird to me to blindly fire off a PR to a project I've never communicated with. I've always asked first, mainly because I don't want to waste my time if they won't give it any consideration. And also because maybe they're already working on whatever I was thinking of, or are doing it in a different way, or...

My contributions are fixes that I need now. So after I fix the issue for my usecase I fire off a PR upstream.
As a maintainer you are free to close my PR, or work togheter with me to bring it in line with your project standards.

That ok, but there is also the thought that if you see a picture hanging in the wall is tilted, it is better to jt straighten it without waiting to ask permission. It is easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
