To me it's not really about individual big features (besides, big features might be hard to accommodate in a minor release), but enough good things to justify minor release.
What we can have (unless I'm missing something): [Already done or to be further improved] - HBASE-15177 - more GC-friendly allocations in RPC services - HBASE-14457 - multi WAL improvements - HBASE-15222 - optimizations in metrics system, some more metrics (like HBASE-15135, HBASE-15068) - HBASE-15306, HBASE-15136 - improving call queues handling [To be reviewed?): - HBASE-15181 - date based tiered compactions (?) - HBASE-11290 - unlock RegionStates. There was a patch update relatively recently to it based on comments. [Possible?] - HBASE-13557 - special handling for system tables WALs - HBASE-13017 - keep table state in meta 1.2 was cut off mid-June 2015.. Should be enough time since then for a minor release.
