There are a few more related to the ottava itself:

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/search/?q=status%3AAccepted+AND+ottava

I think you could tackle this two ways:

1) An issue at a time.  If you're doing this, update the existing issue with 
the patch (via git-cl) and any commentary.  When you're done, set that issue 
to Fixed.

2) All together.  If this does not create an unreviewable humongous patch, 
then create a new tracker (with git-cl) and reference the other issues. 
When this patch is pushed, set all the issues to fixed, referencing this 
one.
