Pushing a big refactor directly could be considered bad form (unless the 
original author is inactive and you turned into the new de-facto maintainer).

But that's what code review is for! Either your change is welcome as making the 
code more readable, or reviewers disagree and it gets rejected. Or most likely, 
a brief discussion happens on specific parts of your change that they disagree 
with, and the end result is even better.

I think you should send a review request. The important thing here is good 
communication :)
