I think it just means nobody has particular feedback at this stage. This is not how proposals are submitted or selected in GSoC, so no it doesn't mean "denied".
I personally do not consider myself familiar enough with the topics of the proposals to give any useful feedback on the content. I think if you're looking at JIRA issues and constructing a good proposal around that, you have a good start. Speaking only for myself, I am not participating in GSoC this year as all 3 GSoC projects I have participated in have failed because they were not nearly completed. Others have said they're interested in mentoring though. However, I feel that one of the best things you can do in a proposal is convince that you know how much work it is, you know what the steps are, and you know you can finish it even accounting for unexpected difficulty. I will also say personally that I would prefer to see GSoC projects that focus on architecture, refactoring, performance tuning and measurement, tests, etc, rather than implementing another algorithm. Mahout needs the former more, I think. But I speak for myself and I am not mentoring.
