It may be easiest in a first draft to just be able to expose revision
properties as part of commit. So you could do:

bzr commit --prop foo:bar --prop bugfix:lp:99272 --prop bug-fixing:lp:99273

(i don't strictly like the --prop X:Y syntax, I needed to use something
to indicate the idea, though).

Right now WorkingTree.commit() takes a revprops dictionary. So it is
fairly easy to do this sort of thing from the bzrlib api, it just hasn't
been exposed to the user.
