No, because we don't want to force anything on the contributor's
workflow.  Developing a change is not a one-keystroke thing, it
requires writing the code, testing it, sending the patch, receiving
review comments, modifying the code accordingly, etc. etc.  I don't
see how this could be done with a single keystroke, even in principle.
