RELEASE is a point on a branch, as soon as RELEASE had been released, you can't push anything into it, unless you have a time machine. So, the fix has been merged to the branch you reported problem on, this means that it'll be available in the next release from this branch - in 8.3-RELEASE. -- Totus tuus, Glebius.
