This model may work for one evening js libs, not serious opensource projects with a large userbase. You just don't fire off a pull request that turns the project upside down because you feel like it without any consulting, expecting it to be accepted right away because it's nice (even if it is). So the most probable scenario would be to reject it and invite you to engage in working on the project before you propose drastic improvements.
