Well, it's the logo we use on the top left side on commons.apache.org. I'd
ask Legal for their opinion on this.

I can do the image.
I don't have time to do the thinking, however. Point me at what you want
and describe and I can add the text very quickly.

Given my limited Gimp knowledge - do we have someone on list who either
can do this or knows someone who can? I'm happy to work out the
explanatory text, however my graphical knowledge is fairly limited...

I actually know nothing about this other than there was an email that I
forwarded. Moreover, my travel schedule is heinous just now so I don't
think I can follow up on it responsibly.
It is easy enough to try. Somebody should be able to whip up a modified
Mahout logo with explanatory text pretty quickly.

I think it can be last item of the release. We can update any maintained
