I work on many things for software projects for my own personal gain. I don't particularly care if someone is planning to do something similar in the future. I need this thing now, for whatever project I'm currently doing. I implement it, and sometimes I may send a PR to see if the maintainer wants it. I don't particularly care if it gets accepted or not. However I think giving them the option to pull if they want it, is a good idea.
