@nateberkopec Note sure, but I mostly create an issue propose a change and ask if she/he is willing to have this change if I would implement the Pull Request. It sometimes works, but most of the time not.

@_web_ This creates work for the maintainer and doesn't really clarify for them whether or not you're capable of contributing. I get these kinds of messages all the time and then never hear back from them later. Submitting a PR shows you're ready and able, and you're much more likely to get help from the maintainer.
