This has been done.  When you browse the bzr repositories, there's now a
new link called "merge" at the top.  This will take you to a page where
you can enter the required merge information.

Right now, it's not authenticated at all, but auth should be easy to
add, either via HTTP auth or hooking into the MediaWiki auth system.  I
don't know how to do the latter, or if it's secure enough, but since
we're blowing away pqm commits now anyway, this should serve as a good
test.

I have figured out how to override the author setting just for PQM.  It
still has my email address attached to it, but that's temporary, for
debugging purposes; it can be changed for real later.
