As a new developer in the community you'll need to make a few friends that agree with your change. There are many good reasons to make friends, but the one relevant here is that for your first changes you'll need a sponsor to facilitate the integration of your work. The sponsor will perform any number of administrative tasks like JBS updates, additional testing, etc. It's usual for a sponsor to also be a reviewer of a change and thus familiar with it, but it's not a requirement. Making people choke on their morning coffee isn't the way to make friends.

At this point, after all rewrites, I think the last sentence about choking on coffee does not really make sense anymore. Suggest you remove it.
