One of the worst parts as a core developer of a OSS software is when you get drive-by pull requests of large changes without that person attempting pre-discussion. Said large changes try to introduce feature creep outside what the core team of dedicated developers that will actually stick around for years want or can actually maintain.

You then end up with that drive-by pull requester spitting venom everywhere on twitter and other forums about how hostile the project is

Depends on what you mean by "large changes". I've done drive-bys of changes, but they were, in my opinion, small changes.

(I think I'm in the credits for Lucaschess somewhere because of a 10-line change).
