There is a canned response for it ;-) I've seen from time to time people ask "I am thinking of doing this; will a patch be accepted? If so, I'll work on it." before showing any work, and my response always has been: (1) We don't know how useful and interesting your contribution would be for our audience, until we see it; and (2) If you truly believe in your work (find it useful, find writing it fun, etc.), that would be incentive enough for you to work on it, whether or not the result will land in my tree. You should instead aim for something so brilliant that we would come to you begging for your permission to include it in our project.
