From what I know of the devs that I've worked with in my professional career, they probably would much rather sit in their offices and code crunch than actually talk to people, especially to whole community (our Sr. Dev refers to anyone outside of IT as "mouth breathers", hehe). For many highly intelligent / skilled people, they need someone else to be their own public voice. It saves them time, effort, face, and keeps them from getting pissed off about what they're doing (at least publically).
We have always had a business analyst / project manager type person that keeps track of what everyone is working on and keeps everyone in the loop about the status of things, this way the devs can focus on being devs rather than worrying about that whole "communication" thing.
Maybe this project shouldn't be too far beyond the structure of a typical office environment in that aspect? Is there someone technical and familiar enough with the project that the devs wouldn't mind keeping in the loop, that could act as a liason to the community? Perhaps this person could bridge EQEMU and PEQ for this role as well?
Just a thought.
