Unless I've missed you being contracted to do these changes, this 
model doesn't apply. It's not other people who want you to do 
some work (and as they are paying you have a vested interest in 
evaluating it), it's you who wants changes.

To be frank, this is how things usually get done in open source 
(outside of corporate interests):
One commits to doing something, does it, then asks for people to 
review the result, and finally tries to get it accepted.
One does this often enough successfully in a particular group of 
people and one earns recognition by their group peers 
(reputation).
Starting and/or participating in discussions can be valuable to 
the community and may yield reputation, as well, but one can't 
realistically expect receiving preapproval for ideas unless one 
has proven to actually follow through on them and contribute 
tangible results.

project you earn recognition there
