He's just warning you not to ignore the existing community in your attempt to create a new community project. It is good advice; take it that way instead of responding to it as negative criticism. I think it might be a tough sell to get existing gamerlay contributors to switch to this new "official" contribution process. If you started working within that community, you may have better luck persuading people to get on board. If you have no interest in doing that, just be aware that you are excluding a significant base of contributors.
