Of the things on your list that is mostly gedit (but not this is C/Gtk not python), and trying to clean up seeds and reduce ISO size. Another task that you might be able to do is splitting the gnome-gettings-started-docs package, either into 2 packages (one for english, one for the rest) or splitting it into proper language packs, that latter would be nice, because I think they might get picked up at install time, so long as download updates is ticked.
The Artwork packaging needs to be done between feature freeze and UI freeze. git/live-build etc can wait atleast until after freeze when things quieten down a litte.
