Depends. Looking at the list of members on the EG, Craig [lead] is also
the lead on Apache Struts. Shawn Bayern was a lead on JSTL, James Strachan
[taglib author, one of the Geronimo people etc] was on there and the ASF
had another person [I presume] though I've no idea how that part works.

I believe Struts have had a plan for JSF for a while. The biggest problem
is that the JCP doesn't allow an open source project to discuss plans for
a JSR with anyone who isn't on the JCP [which means they have to assume no
one is on the JCP], so it appears as though they're being quiet.

In addition, David Geary and Hans Bergsten definitely represent the
individual developer.
