The right click context menu is really useful but it's difficult to find unless you are told about it. In order to make it a bit more discoverable, I'm thinking a CSS property can be added to the table rows. Looking in Firebug, I found cursor: context-menu which give the cursor a nice little dropdown icon. Would this be an improvement and help hint to new users that there is a menu here?

+1 on this one.

Cursor icons suggest you can do something by left-clicking, so setting cursor: context-menu would mean the context-menu appears when you left-click.

And what about showing the context menu when left-clicking once the row is selected?
This would solve problems with the right-click on some browsers as well.

Depends on the user. Someone like me, who likes clicking around and selecting text while reading will get annoyed by a constantly popping up context menu. In addition to that it's error prone: the first entry often is delete!

How about a column with a context-menu icon?

Attaching to the left click event would be nice but I also use the left click to highlight text (e.g. Copy and paste the raw issue text for an email). How about adding the context menu for either left or right click but only attaching it to one column? The Issue ID column would be good since that's always present and is usually an extra link since Subject links to the issue details.
