Hi Diego,

yes, libinput is under heavy development now. Your patches are welcome if you 
found working solution. But "Evdev Scrolling Distance" was added recently and 
needs to be tested. We have to be sure this will be working together with 
smooth scrolling etc. Please discuss it with Petter Hutterer. 

Regards

Ondrej
