(Caveat: I haven't followed this thread, at all.)

But if `mouse-3' behavior that allows for context-specific
popup menus is what's sought, then `mouse3.el' fulfills
that need, and with a great deal of flexibility.  This has
been the case since 2010.

Not only does it provide for context menus, but it does so
without sacrificing the other useful vanilla `mouse-3'
behaviors, which are also useful.  It adds to, instead of
replaces, existing `mouse-3' behavior.  It's compatible
with what Emacs users expect in general for `mouse-3'.
