I took a stab at it:

  The mainline revision specifier has been added.  It takes as its
  input a revision spec of a revision merged from another branch, and
  selects the mainline revision in which that branch revision was
  merged.

  Revisions merged from branches have revision specs of the form
  X.Y.Z, and are not shown by "bzr log" unless you use the -n0
  switch.  Using -rmainline:X.Y.Z, you can find the mainline revision
  where X.Y.Z was merged ("landed") without the need to wade through
  output of "bzr log -n0".

Btw, the documentation of this new spec in the User Reference (under
"Revision Identifiers") is even more laconic:

  mainline: Select the revision that merged the specified revision
            into mainline.

It could certainly benefit from the few examples I found in "What's
New".
