If it's too late to push this to the release branch,
then this definitely can't be done after the release.
So probably this bug report should be closed?

Meanwhile, I noticed another inconsistency
where context menus for some modes are named
with the -mode suffix, and some without it.

With `-mode':

  lisp/help-mode.el
  (defun help-mode-context-menu (menu click)

  lisp/textmodes/text-mode.el
  (defun text-mode-context-menu (menu click)

Without `-mode':

  lisp/progmodes/prog-mode.el
  (defun prog-context-menu (menu click)

  lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode.el
  (defun elisp-context-menu (menu click)

Maybe it's too late to fix this inconsistency too?
