How open is the development process of FxOS? I think projects like CyanogenMod largely arose because of Google's throw-it-over-the-wall approach. If Mozilla does this more openly, inviting direct community participation, then there's less need for an alt community version.

Like with Firefox, anyone can join development. There are no NDA, etc. All you need is a compatible phone. Updates are distributed by phone vendors, but I could imagine that there will also be community-supported builds for popular devices.

Upstream development happens in these repositories:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia
These are the actual repositories Mozilla developers use. No smoke, no mirrors.
