Urun, Sounds like you have quite a bit of SVM experience. There is always: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-232
to take a look at which involves getting SVMs going in Mahout. I've looked at it a bit while working on some smaller patches, I'd be interested in discussing it with you given your experience if you are interested. I can help you get a development env going if and send some tips your way if you have any questions about getting going with developing for Mahout.
