Agreed. Always open an issue or discussion before you write a large PR.

Although that does create a different risk: what if I open such a discussion, the project lead thinks it's a great idea, and only when I start working on it do I realize it's going to be far more effort than I'm willing to put in? Now I've made a promise I really don't want to keep.
