For information we have recently setup a Kenai project for JSR-275. It somewhat 
duplicate dev.java.net, but Kenai is easier to manage. As a bonus, it is nicely 
integrated with NetBeans.

The source code repository is not yet setup (we are waiting for feedbacks from a 
few peoples, among other Jean-Marie who wrote most of the code), but JIRA is 
already running:

     http://kenai.com/jira/browse/JSR_275

This project is a lot about the specification document (writing specifications 
is really a lot of work - as much as writing the library itself) and writing a 
test suite acceptable as a TCK (this is more work than plain JUnit tests). It is 
not yet clear at this stage if the Reference Implementation would be hosted 
there or would stay a part of the JScience project.
