Some tips/tricks/tidbits:

* Open a draft PR early in the process with a Request for Comment [RFC] tag. Explain your goal/approach in words, then follow up with code.

* Be succinct.

* Provide minimal viable examples and build more complex concepts from these.

* Accept feedback with grace, and execute promptly.

* Don't take personal offense if your work isn't merged, or even responded to.

* Single-maintainer open-source looks very different than consortium & working group FOSS.
