I strongly agree with a menu for qgis-system-wide stuffs, position can be
disscused with UX group (I hope without locking with Apple UX policies that
are too much marketing guided)

I would suggest to use the same vertical "..." menu used in Chrome,
Firefox, OpenLayers etc etc as in the attached image. Calling QGIS a menu
inside QGis could be redundant.
