"bzr send" is one way to create a merge proposal from the commandline,
submitting the proposal via email.

bzr-pipeline trunk now includes "lp-submit", which will create a
merge-proposal from the commandline, using the LP API to create the
proposal.  It works whether or not you've been treating the branch as a
pipe, but for pipelines it will also handle prerequisite branches.

The --fixes integration is already handled as part of pushing Launchpad,
which is always a component of submitting a merge proposal.  With bzr
send, this push can be done indirectly, but the effect is the same.
