In no particular order:
- The patch proposed is clearly wrong.
- Please see http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing_changes.html on how to submit patches.
- The draft referenced is a draft, not even an RFC. Further, it is an expired draft.
- TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 are still used by various old clients, and this are the only available protocols for these clients. In particular, this includes old Android phones. According to https://caniuse.com/#feat=tls1-2, right now there are about 3% of such clients.
Given the above, disabling TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 by default in nginx might not be a good idea. Certainly this is not something we want to be the default right now. Instead, one may consider doing something similar to what Wikipedia is doing now by configuring appropriate redirects based on the $ssl_protocol variable.

A minor update on the topic:
- the draft is now RFC 8996
- non-TLS1.2 statistics decreased to 1.58% (at the time of writing).
