"this patch", as I understand it being the Rietveld issue in its final state, 
removed --bigpdf completely.  At least that's what patch set 2 and patch set 3 
claim in their message.  It has a scope that was quite exceeding the scope that 
was agreed on to be sensible for 2.20 on the developer lists.  This here is 
issue 5201, and the commit message for this issue states:
commit 398c2e17d45bf4d18723e14d52531e4e7d006dea

    Adapt lilypond to ghostscript 9.22, change command line options
    
    Issue 5201
    
    We need to adapt lilypond
    to ghostscript 9.22 as our
    old --bigpdf parameter is
    broken by the new version
    of gs.
    
    --bigpdf is totally removed.
    
    --pspdfopt=(size/TeX/TeX-GS)
    is implemented to allow the
    user to select the appropiate
    set of -d... parameters for
    different purposes.
    
    The patch also contains some
    minor fixes of related bugs,
    introduces --eps to the
    command line interface and
    changes the bug-report
    message, as post.gmane is
    gone.

listing several changes that you say should not be a part of 2.20.

So I don't really see what you mean here.  What is your actual proposal/vision 
for 2.20?

There was an intense discussion about dramatically increased pdf file sizes 
caused by a patch in ghostscript.

To make it short: I think this patch fixes the problem. Please test.

You will see no effect without a working extractpdfmark package.

one example: notation.pdf is back to 6.875.674 bytes.
