Andreas,

I've added it in r10741.

An example - during plugin initialization:

action = QAction( ... )
if hasattr(iface, 'registerMainWindowAction'):
  iface.registerMainWindowAction( action, "Ctrl+M" )

It's wise to check whether the method is present to keep compatibility
with older versions of QGIS.
When unloading the plugin, one should unregister the action:

if hasattr(iface, 'unregisterMainWindowAction'):
  iface.unregisterMainWindowAction( action )


Enjoy!

Martin
