In my W3C experience, that's far and away the best way to get invited.
Postings here and on the public w3c lists that are sympathetic to the
objectives of some WG but contain detailed, helpful critiques and
suggestions that are directly relevant to the public draft of some spec will
be much appreciated by the Chairs and will get you considered as an invited
expert if the need arises.
