You can just filter 8.2 milestone in GitHub and you will see that there are
still some PR's that are almost ready and can be merged possibly with just
a few tweaks. I merged some yesterday but there are more.

I think this is not how it was done for previous version branches. I think
we created them when it got to RC stage. Any new features are on hold and
we (core devs) should mainly concentrate on bugs during beta. I would
prefer if it could stay that way as it reduces time of merging things.
