Sure, these checks are part of the FDC / IEG / any decent grant process. 
Business as usual.

Also important:

Tech projects aiming to merge code in an existing project also need to 
be in sync with the maintainers and the community. This is why we have a 
separation between "Featured project ideas" (ready to be taken) and "Raw

Even the featured project ideas must get a reality check as soon as 
someone steps in at a given time for a specific program.
