I haven't checked if it is possible at the moment, but if not, the 
general procedure would be:

Fix JOSM core such that your plugin can do what you want it to do - 
change private access flags to public, add methods, etc.
Then open a ticket and attach your patch, so we can apply it.

I don't know how your plugin works exactly, but keep in mind, that users 
may just casually install, try out and immediately uninstall some 
plugins. In general, this should not permanently change the user's 
configuration. (You can keep of course preference settings specific to 
the plugin.) If each filter is added on user request, then this is 
probably okay.
