I've flagged that one as Ready for QA, for the next major Tails
release (1.4). You can do this yourself next time. The gory details
are documented there:
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/merge_policy/#index2h1
Any taker for the review, or does this fall into the fallback case,
that is on the release manager's plate?

Please file a dedicated ticket for that one.
Once my following question has been answered, you may directly flag
that ticket for 1.4, as Ready for QA, and pointing back to this thread
so that the reviewer can easily find your patch.

Is this number (8.2MB) the increase of the resulting ISO size, when
compressed with the default (slooooow but very efficient) settings,
or anything else?
