I think as long as someone is willing to do the hard part of filling out the form for the Apache IP clearance process to completion (which it sounds like you are), then it seems useful to be part of the project. Reading through https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ it sounds like it does need to be technically submitted by the PMC, but I think you could still largely drive this on behalf of the PMC to get all of the information for the form filled out and just get someone on the PMC to file the paperwork or whatever when ready. I'm calling this out as important because previously there was a similar effort for a Helm chart but it stalled because the IP clearance never was finished (https://lists.apache.org/thread/ygyzt23m06vc775nq5dsm349rf0j47dg), and since IP clearance form is somewhat tedious to do, no one on the PMC picked up the process to finish.
I think we would also want to consider adding the maintainers of the druid operator as committers (if not already), since I'm not sure how much expertise the existing Druid committers have on this project.
