I have a method I use on the dogbowl for publishing (mostly
rejecting, actually, so I can reuse the "no test content" comment):
The form derives from the stock 'search', but hard-codes the
review_state query;  the processor is a simple Python script, like
so:

## Script (Python) "publishItems"
##parameters=items, comment=''
##title=
##
wf_tool = context.portal_workflow # XXX getToolByName
for path in items:
     object = context.restrictedTraverse( path )
     wf_tool.doActionFor( object, 'publish', comment=comment )

context.REQUEST[ 'RESPONSE' ].redirect( '%s/review?%s'
                    % ( context.portal_url()
                      , 'portal_status_message=Items+published.'
                      ) )dav:/CMF/portal_skins/common/>
