If you're an open source maintainer, nothing makes new people happier than you taking their work, updating it with whatever changes you want to see happen, and landing it yourself. It's a much better experience than going back and forth with minor nits. (And give them credit for it!)
@rain I do that quite frequently with rust-analyzer if I can tell it's gonna be a lot of back and forth rounds or just nitpicking changes from my side. Not like it invalidates their work if you adjust after their core/key changes!
