Yeah.
Have you considered asking for membership?
Yes, actually I applied eariler today as an individual. The other
option is to apply as an "organization", but I wasn't too sure how
representing Pluto would work. . .. I'd like to be involved and
represent our community either way. We'll see what happens.
I think Apache has a JCP membership and so committers (members?) can
represent Apache on JSRs. I think Geir Magnusson knows the most about that.

I represented Apache on the 1.0 spec.
(Im also a Pluto founding committer, albeit not very active these days,
Jetspeed is pretty consuming with the new release upcoming)
You can see Apache's name as an Expert Group member in section PLT.1.8
of the spec.
I was planning on representing Apache again, but if one of the other
Pluto committers would like the experience I can step down (note you
have to travel once or twice a year or so for Face to Face meetings,
usually 3-5 days in length). There are also phone conference meetings,
and lots of email
What I really did not like about JSR-168, is that I could not discuss
the process on the Apache lists, since they are public. I am going to
see if I can make any progress in making 286 a more public effort this
time.
