| Finally, understand that your contribution is not "free" for the project. It takes time and consideration to even look at your PR and even more to code review it. The more popular the project, the more true this is. Understand code interactions: they scale N^2 with each new feature added. Specifically, each interaction your feature has with all the other features has to be coded, and then each new feature might interact with yours. This is the curse of scope freak. It is the sole responsibility of the PM/owner of the project to select which features worth this.
