A better description is that their committer list is a direct subset of the Tomcat list, and they exist primarily for use by the Tomcat community. Mark Thomas (I think, sorry if it wasn't Mark) explained Watchdog as existing for Tomcat 4 and being dead because Tomcat 5 no longer needed it (or some such). This seems like a pretty clear ownership by Tomcat. The ServletAPI modules were (I assume) created for use by Tomcat. Unless we start a project at Apache for hosting JCP spec jars, it seems that a part of the Tomcat community would be the ones writing the servletapi-3.0.jar in 2 years time; so servletapi also seems like it's owned by the Tomcat community. Going a bit further out; I think it would be fair to say that the Tomcat community are the inheritors of the mod_jserv stuff; but as the last published cvs location for this no longer works, there's nothing concrete to hand off. Just vague ownership of something archived somewhere.
