That is right Jeff. Official Java Bindings would be a good first step.
The goal is to have "consistent" guidelines (standards) for library

What is the best way to go about this?

All new MPI topics start with a proposal. :-)

But before you spend time on a proposal, you might want to ask the community if they want official Java bindings. There were strong waves of apathy to prior attempts at standardizing Java bindings.

The Boost C++ implementation is
pretty good but only works on ... well ... Boost. No plans to define
something more consistent across the board? Or maybe this should be done by another group?

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The Boost MPI package is a fine standalone package. I don't see any reason to standardize it; MPI already has basic-building-blocks C++ bindings.
