It does, what it would require is saving last-tag-change to a variable
and then bind function to a key... 
I personally am not too interested for such a binding (It could be
"dangerous" to do accidental undesired change (but I also could be
wrong and like such a feature >;D)

for reference I have the following bindings added to my configuration file

(define-key notmuch-show-user-map "u"
  (lambda () "mark message unread" (interactive)
    (notmuch-show-tag-message "+unread")))

(define-key notmuch-show-user-map "i"
  (lambda () "remove inbox tag" (interactive)
    (notmuch-show-tag-message "-inbox")))

which means uu restores "unread" and ui removes "inbox".

one can bind to notmuch-show-mode-map in order for just one keypress
to do tag-change... storing last-tag-change may provide hard if there
is no central place to execute "notmuch tag" command in notmuch emacs
source code...
