"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:

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.
