Copy all changelist descriptions while merging in Perforce?

Question

I am working with "my" Perforce branch, fixing some small issues in the code. Every now and then I am integrating with another branch ("main").

I write extensive changelist descriptions each time I commit to "my" branch. When I integrate, I would like to have the merging ("my->main") changelist description be a sum of descriptions I wrote for all the changelists in "my" branch since the last merge.

Is this possible?

With a little bit of scripting it should be easy. You can use p4 interchanges to get a list of all pending changelists that will be merged, extract the description from each, and use it as the changelist description when you submit the merge.
