I had a dependency for a project that was really good. Had 90% of the features I needed, was fast, reliable... I just needed one feature it didn't have, which was a good fit for the package. The other options that did what I needed weren't as good, for other reasons. Since I was going to have to write the code somewhere, I figured I'd fork the repo and maintain my own version. After I did that I realised my changes needed testing and documentation for other people on my team. After that, a pull request was just a click of a button.
