Comment (by Otto42):

 Second batch: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/1908375

 Added icons for:

 blogger-importer
 dotclear-importer
 dotclear2-importer
 greymatter-importer
 livejournal-importer
 movabletype-importer
 opml-importer
 rss-importer
 stp-importer
 textpattern-importer
 tumblr-importer
 utw-importer
 wordpress-importer



 For future ease of implementation, if any other batches are desired, I
 recommend the following:

 1. Use a consistent naming method. Have the files named plugin-slug.zip,
 which then contain the properly named icon.svg, icon-128x128.png, and
 icon-256x256.png files. This would have helped, so I wouldn't need to go
 around renaming everything.

 2. Include all three formats. For the importers, I had to manually create
 the PNG versions. Like it or not, the world just isn't ready for SVG only,
 the PNG versions are important to have too.

 3. Please do some image optimization. For every PNG in the first batch, I
 had to load it and resave it with a good image program in order to get it
 down to a decent filesize. Some of them were 20K+ and when resaved with
 PNG compression, went down to under 1K in size. Speed counts, and smaller
 is better when it comes to images. PNG compression is lossless, so crank
 it up to maximum.
