> At least opening PRs is a safe option, you can just dump the whole thing if it doesn't turn out to be useful.

However, every PR adds load and complexity to community projects.

As another commenter suggested, doing these kind of experiments on separate forks sound a bit less intrusive. Could be a take away from this experiment and set a good example.

There are many cool projects on GitHub that are just accumulating PRs for years, until the maintainer ultimately gives up and someone forks it and cherry-picks the working PRs. I've than that myself.

I'm super worried that we'll end up with more and more of these projects and abandoned forks :/
