This, unless my PR is addressing an already open issue. For larger ideas/changes that may be difficult to explain, I may open an initial PR, but make it clear that it's for illustrative purposes and that I don't expect it to be accepted or to remain open. On occasion I've saved myself a whole lot of time when one of the maintainers agrees with the proposal and reveals they're working on something very similar already.
