That is a known problem... fixable when gnome-shell gets to handle desktop-level gestures. > > + The scroll bars are tricky to use when I have a long list (like my > email).

Most scrollable contents in GTK+ applications should be touch-friendly, with the notable exception of WebKitWebView based widgets. You should be able to scroll by doing 1-finger touch atop the contents, not only touching on the scrollbar. What hardware is that? Stylus+tablet sounds Wacom, but that about the touchscreen? What xorg input driver are those devices using? what email client is that? > I would appreciate guidance on the first steps I can take to help the > gnome touch screen support effort. There's definitely a few rough points, you can check the general state of things in https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/Touchscreen , issues are quite scattered as you see so there's a few ML and IRC channels involved unfortunately, #gnome-hackers should have most of the involved people around though.
