As a new developer in the community you will need to make a few friends that agrees with your change. There are many good reasons to make friends, but the one relevant here is that you'll need a sponsor to approve your change. This is in addition to the reviewers (but can be the same person). The sponsor takes on a larger responsibility for your change than the reviewers, and may need to defend the change in case of later problems. Making people choke on their morning coffee is not the way to make friends.

Yes these are good suggestions. I'll write something up and commit to the PR.
