lya Grigorik : Don't "Push" Your Pull Requests

https://www.igvita.com/2011/12/19/dont-push-your-pull-requests/

There is nothing more frustrating than to read the threads, or even worse, be on the receiving end of this experience gone wrong. The contributor is wounded because they are not recognized, and the maintainer is caught in a dilemma: they want to build and foster their community, but they have to dig-in against their biggest fans. There is no winner here and neither side is to blame.
Next time, before you dive into the editor, open a discussion, outline your problem and solution, and offer to do the work - don't "push" the pull request, and don't work in the dark.
