Any plans on porting to wayland?
i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

selecting menu options without releasing right click
I guess, it's not supported at the moment or you'll have to do some hacks.. There is this issue (#3777) with the same problem.

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!

Asahi Linux To Users: Please Stop Using X.Org
I'd like to, but I use the Awesome Window Manager, and there is currently no direct equivalent in Wayland at this time. I was holding out for Way Cooler, but unfortunately, it had stopped development 4 years ago.

help me choose a wm
Just fyi, river is nothing like awesome, it's like bspwm. There was an attempt to make an awesome clone for wayland but it's no longer under development. Also, though it's not tiling, for completeness there's also labwc which is a wayland clone of openbox.

Wayland rewrite fundraiser?
There have been discussions about porting to Wayland on the Discord before and there was a project called (waycooler)[https://github.com/way-cooler/way-cooler] that attempted to do this. As far as I can tell, you are right in that it would be a serious undertaking, but I would ask on the Discord if you're interested in setting up some kind of fundraiser.

NVIDIA Proposes Mesa Patches To Support Alternative GBM Back-Ends
Compositors have to be specifically written for Wayland. Awesome/Qtile only support X11 but they could be re-written using a framework like wlroots (somebody tried to make an Awesome clone called Way Cooler but development eventually stalled).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing awesome and Way Cooler you can also consider the following projects:
Hyprland - Hyprland is a highly customizable dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
alacritty - A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.
i3 - A tiling window manager for X11
Debian Repository Builder - A project for automatically generating and maintaining Debian repositories from a TOML spec.
dunst - Lightweight and customizable notification daemon
Parity - (deprecated) The fast, light, and robust client for the Ethereum mainnet.
pywal - 🎨 Generate and change color-schemes on the fly.
rsedis - Redis re-implemented in Rust.
Hardcode-Tray - Fixes Hardcoded tray icons in Linux
Fractalide - Reusable Reproducible Composable Software
sway - i3-compatible Wayland compositor
komorebi - A tiling window manager for Windows 🍉
