There's a mute, volume up, volume down and microphone mute button on
newer Thinkpads in the X and T series. On most distributions all of them
work but on Ubuntu GNOME and Debian/Ubuntu based distributions the
microphone mute button does not work. There's not even output from
'acpi_listen'. I do not have hopes up that it will work on Ubuntu GNOME
but it would sure have been a very pleasant surprise! :)

The only way I have found to enable hibernation on Ubuntu GNOME is to
add
"/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla"
with this content:

[Re-enable hibernate by default in upower]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

[Re-enable hibernate by default in logind]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

You have to add an extension for Gnome-Shell also which adds the
hibernate button to the status menu.

I do not get why this isn't enabled by default. Again, it's working OOTB
on Fedora and Sabayon.

You are really missing out! :)
