yeah, I know how you feel and I sometimes do the same for early-in-the-works
stuff - but only if I don't expect any reviews. 

pull requests are for patches. If you're unsure about the high-level
approach, just send an email describing the detailed approach and add the
link as "btw, here's the current implementation". that signals that you're
not looking for patch reviewers yet but for help with the approach itself.
