BTW, when I needed to do the same for the *Occur* buffer
(to kill it after going to the occurrence) I created a new command
`occur-mode-goto-occurrence-kill-buffer' based on
`occur-mode-goto-occurrence-other-window':

(defun occur-mode-goto-occurrence-kill-buffer ()
  "Go to the occurrence the current line describes, and kill the Occur buffer."
  (interactive)
  (let ((buf (current-buffer))
        (pos (occur-mode-find-occurrence)))
    (switch-to-buffer-other-window (marker-buffer pos))
    (goto-char pos)
    (kill-buffer buf)
    (run-hooks 'occur-mode-find-occurrence-hook)))

I still have no idea how to generalize this common behavior.

In addition to this, it could also use the action
`display-buffer-below-selected' (like in dired),
and instead of `fit-window-to-buffer' it could use
'((window-height . fit-window-to-buffer)).
