Describing my requirement below, just as an example. The main question above in general, can be relevant to much diverse audience under diverse scenarios.
While developing a code, I have a practice of shelving the changes made to the code periodically. For example, if my code intends to achieve 4 different objectives, I shelve my changes each time one of the objective is achieved. That way, if I mess up things while coding for a next objective, I just unshelve the changes from my previously shelved changes. This is a very nice way of cleaning up things.
The problem is when there are large number of shelved changes, it becomes difficult to keep track of all your change-list numbers. In such a case, if there is a single command to retrieve a list all the change-lists shelved by me or any user for that matter, I can do a p4 describe -s <#CL> and get the know what changes does a particular shelved change-list contains. That would definitely help keep things more organised!

Unshelve changesPress Ctrl+Shift+U or choose Unshelve from the context menu of the selection. In the Unshelve Changes dialog, specify the changelist you want to restore the unshelved changes to in the Name field.
Unshelving copies the shelved files into the user's workspace as they existed when they were shelved. (For example, a file open for edit when shelved will also be open for edit in the unshelving user's workspace.)
Shelving is the process of temporarily storing work in progress in Helix Server without submitting a changelist. Shelving is useful when you need to: perform multiple development tasks on the same set of files, such as testing across multiple platforms.
When you check out a file, Perforce adds information about the file to a changelist and changes the writable attribute of the file in your local workspace from read-only to read/write. A changelist defines a logical grouping of work across a set of files and folders.
The command you need is
p4 changes -u USERNAME -s shelved
You can further limit that to a specific workspace etc. (See p4 help changes for your options.)
