There is no easy way, AFAIK. In bzr you can simply do

bzr log -r address@hidden

and it will output

It is a slow operation (8 seconds on a 2.4 GHz destktop-class GNU/Linux
machine with bzr 2.2.4. You could do instead a `log --show-ids' and
parse the output for revision numbers and revision-ids, which is much
faster.) Add to that that the same bzr revision-id may correspond to
different revision numbers, one per branch where the revision is
present, so you would need to repeat the `log' command on every branch
and output a pair (branch-name, revision-id). Although usually the Emacs
hackers are interested on two branches (`trunk' and the maintenance
branch, what was `emacs-23' until recently, `emacs-24' after the
release.) it is still a lot of work to do.

In practice, knowing the bzr revision number right away is convenient
but the hacker can operate with the revision-id, as shown above. The
files you posted contain all the required info.
