If you want to create and maintain a community that's fine, maybe even great. TFA is just pointing out that the presence of an OSS license is not an implicit signal that the project is interested in any such community. They're separate things, and my read is that the author is frustrated with the constant conflating of the two. It's not an attack on your values at all.

Quick questions; as this project clearly exists in a community-less vacuum:

How do people keep finding and using it?

How do complaints or feature requests keep arriving?

Why is the published to an audience that doesn't exist?

Or is it fair to say the project has published in public, so has contact with a very broad community already?

It clearly does not, however the members of the community need to know their place.
