You are welcome to file bugs in the freedesktop.org bugzilla (Wayland/libinput) for the feature requests you have. Some of them may be closed as wontfix, but I suspect there are others the case isn't clear-cut. Oh, and if you do so, don't just go through the synaptics/evdev man pages and file a bug for every option in there. I want clear use-cases that justify each features you want us to add.
