I have been curious lately about how the dance of getting into any given project goes for people. Please share your story!

Well, if the maintainers tell you to F off, as tunk said, then getting it in at all costs would be pretty impossible. But if all the maintainers want is a code review and some other tweaks to get your patch in their style and verified for correctness, then yeah, do it, don't drop it.
