One tool that appears to be popular for working in git and pushing to
bazaar is [1].

I don't really have an opinion on unification, but perhaps some scripts
using the Launchpad API[2] could solve the button clicking problem?  I
had a quick look and there are various scripts available, e.g. [3]
appears to upload release tarballs.

Other things people have done is move the code to github and use lp for
the packaging [4].
