[p4] Changelist diff notifications

I would like to implement functionality whereby a summary of a
changelist (including the files affected and the related diffs) is
generated and then sent to a group email address.
Typically, a number of developers belong to a group, and they have an
interest in a codeline and/or subset of the codeline's branches. Their
group (in Active Directory) has an email address, and the changelist
diff report would be sent to that group email address.
So how can I accomplish this in Perforce? Here are some of my ideas:
-Use the 'reviews' daemon, and have users individually add entries to
the Reviews: section for the areas of the depot that interest them. I
don't like this very much, for it means that every user has to do this.
-Write a change-commit trigger to generate the report, but maintain a
list of what groups care about what depot paths separately.
-Somehow overload the group form to support an email and a reviews
field, and modify the reviews daemon (if possible) to allow groups to
receive changelist notifications.
Thoughts? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks,
-Marc
