Hector, An in-core variant or a sequential on-disk variant is a great starting point and focussing on the kernelized ranker is also a good place to start.
It would help if you can provide lots of visibility early in the process. IF the JIRA process of attaching a diff becomes cumbersome, then you can use something like an associated github mirror of Mahout where you keep your work in progress. Make sure you are good with the ASL requirements and if you plan to write more than a few hundred lines of code, it would be good to file an individual contributor license.
