I have pushed fixes for the box drawing characters, and for the incorrect forms of arabic characters. This includes fixes to IBM 851 and IBM 868, which were not part of your patch.
Many of the remaining changes suggested are a bit dubious though.
For example, in IBM 437 you proposed the following changes:
0xe1: GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA -> LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S 0xe6: GREEK SMALL LETTER MU -> MICRO SIGN 0xed: EMPTY SET -> GREEK SMALL LETTER PHI
Like I said, I didn't have an authoritative source (as I didn't know where to find one), and so I used two non-authoritative sources, which happened to agree: the unicode.org files, and Python 3. Up to you what you want to apply; the part that I was most noticing was the box drawing characters, which I thought was actually a font error (as I wasn't seeing the double lines).

Ok. Then my approach would be to keep things as they are until someone comes up with a specific complaint. :-) As I said, the box drawing stuff is fixed, so feel free to raise a new issue if you find something else which is a concrete problem.
(As a side note, I think you were justified in assuming thick/double lines was a font issue. There is no semantical difference, so I imagine the only reason why Unicode assigns separate codepoints to them instead of treating them as font variants is for compatibility with some other encoding that has both...)
