Sounds like paradise. I feel there are too many "communities" these days that exist to the detriment to the project at hand. I'd even go as far to say that I cannot think of a single time a "community" has aided an open source project in any way.
until Jia Tan comes for a rescue.

It sounds like paradise if you are not open to accepting any contribution or even feedback to fix even egregious problems with the project.
That's fine if your goal is to maximize control at the expense of quality. But for that I wonder if FLOSS is what you are actually looking for.
molticrystal's suggestion of politely e-mailing contributions would work.
I think this is exactly what the article is about though... open source does not imply open community.
For many, I have noticed that they only post the source of their projects in case it's useful to others, but that ultimately they are only writing it for themselves and aren't interested in building a community around it, or trying to make it more "quality."
