File a JIRA issue with a detailed proposal of your project. The community will help work out details for your proposal and it will eventually be rated and possibly selected.
Make sure you follow the guidelines for a proposal. In particular, describe the problem and your proposed work clearly, be reasonable about your schedule and the scope of your project, make sure that there are good ways to evaluate whether you have succeeded and put in good milestones. Keep in mind also that many good GSOC projects don't get selected for support. Mahout has had a strong policy in the past of helping students who want to complete their project even without Google recognition. I expect that the Mahout community would be even more supportive of such independent projects this year because we have grown and become more active.
