Hey,
Found the answer to my own question :)
You can indeed get a list of changes merged in the last n seconds from
gerrit, via its http API. The first change merged into Wikibase in the last
10 seconds can be obtained as follows:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/changes/?q=status:merged+project:mediawiki/e…
Relevant docs at
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/rest-api-changes.html#list-cha…
and
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/user-search.html#_search_opera…
Cheers
