Question regarding contribution ettiquette.

[Akshay]

I'll be specific with the scenario, someone made a PR 2 days ago but it failed some tests, should I tag them in a comment and wait for them to ammend the code and pass the checks or should I start working on it myself?

I am new to contributions and I don't want to feel rude to them so making sure.

It's always better to work together instead of dividing efforts. 

If the contributor in question remains inactive or passive or 

seems to be dumping a patch in violation of the AI usage policy 

into their PR, then go ahead and make your own patch which 

doesn't repeat the same pattern.
