The patch you are viewing is outdated.
This is the latest patch on offer:
https://list.orgmode.org/87bl4rce4j.fsf@gmail.com/2-0001-Allow-to-delimit-tags.patch
It allows "," (the default for completing-read-multiple) and ":"
to delimit tags when completing-read-multiple is used.
The reason for allowing "," is that it's easier to type than ":".
I make liberal use of tags and IMO typing a "Shift+;" between each
tag is annoying and slow.
The comma is also used as the default separator when
completing-read-multiple is used.

The latest patch removed the defcustom and replaced it with a
defvar for the crm-separator regexp.
If it would ease your mind I'd be happy to convert it to a
defconst.
It's also worth noting that the constraint was only recently
introduced.
"," worked fine to delimit tags in `org-set-tags-command' prior to
the switch to completing-read-multiple.
Regarding documentation, let me know where you'd prefer it
documented.
