@skylark13 As someone who has been on both sides, the only bits that frustrated me as an originator were when people don't make contact and simply carried my ideas off into the sunset, in one case taking the name with them (initially, we connected and fixed).
As a forker. I've had people both accept commits and not, neither of which upset me. Contact is an opportunity to understand what both sides want and find an agreeable path. Even when we forked Nessus as OpenVAS, discussions with Tenable (instigated by them, I was young and foolish) ended up being beneficial and led to more cordial long term relations.
A fork and PRs is an efficient way to start that process, especially if you're both on a platform like GitHub/GitLab or similar etc...
