You are welcome to work on a patch for that, we will be happy to review
it

Not sure how you went to this conclusion but:
- we got only 1 report so far with 2 users declaring to be annoyed by the issue
- there are other ways to do a middle click
- there is no other way to do gestures
- gestures are important in the default ubuntu desktop

the normal conclusion there is "we should keep the patch enabled", what
you suggest is to trade an annoyance for broken gestures on the default
environment of the distribution, that's not really something we want to
do

Title:
  Ubuntu patch unconditionally breaks three-finger tap

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu gnome-settings-daemon package contains a patch
  disable_three_touch_tap.patch which unconditionally disables three-
  finger tap.

  This is annoying. I want to tap with three fingers to paste.

  There's a comment mentioning some kind of gestures, but whatever they
  are, nothing seems to happen on my system.
