Comment(by humdinger):

 ALT+E to eject only in DriveSetup, of course. In Tracker that's for "Edit
 Name".

 I'm not sure an eject menu is really needed. When removing/disconnecting
 removable media, users are supposed to first unmount the volume for data
 safety. This should be  engrained in their brain whenever possible. When
 looking for a way to eject a disk from its context menu, "Unmount" does
 look like a probable candidate. Unmounting a CD will eject it.

 If others do think "Eject" should appear somewhere, rename the "Unmount"
 item (only for optical disks!) to "Unmount/Eject" to avoid an additional
 menu item.
