Interesting, nice suggestion! Again, I'll try to look into it.
Generally speaking, patches welcome as well :)
The middle-click to lower window problem can be solved using this extension:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1252/top-bar-middle-click-to-lower/
Unfortunately, this application removes the ability to manipulate the window using the titlebar. Including this to the topbar would drastically improve the extension, as it would decrease the downsides to using it. This is functionality that was provided by Unity and its topbar, so it would also be appreciated by those moving over in the future.
The functionality in question is the following from the Gnome Tweak Tool:
More specifically, the double and middle click actions. In my Unity workflow, I middle click the topbar to lower it, bringing another application in focus. It's a quick alternative to alt-tab and very useful. I could sort of have the same functionality by doing the same with the titlebar in Gnome, but with this extension, there no longer are titlebars.
