According to the linked guidelines for contributing @ Github/rails/rails 
<https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md>, I should wait 
for positive feedback here before submitting an issue, but it also suggest 
that I "start writing code". Does this mean that I should open a pull 
request, or does this mean I should continue waiting for feedback?
