It already does: select multiple revisions, right-click, choose "Merge to"

I don't mind if something takes a while *after* I entered all
information and actually started the command. Because then, I can go
on and work on whatever I want until the command is actually finished.
But waiting even a few seconds *while* I have to still fill out some
forms is very bad: *I* have to wait for this to finish.
