I have filed the bug to GNOME upstream:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/407
Unfortunately currently Launchpad doesn't support GitLab issues so it
can't be directly linked to this bug report.

Title:
New Document feature missing from Nautilus 3.20+
Status in Nautilus:
New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu has a patch ( 16_unity_new_documents.patch ) to enable a 'New
Document' function in the right-click context menu. This patch was not
ported to Nautilus 3.20 so this Ubuntu-specific feature is missing in
Ubuntu 16.10.

desktop/nautilus/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/16_unity_new_documents.patch
While this patch being disabled is noted in the debian/changelog,
here's a formal bug to document the issue and maybe give it a bit more
visibility so that it will be fixed.
