This may be a problem with the python output of perforce. Can you run the
following command?
git-p4 debug change
That should print a dictionary that has a 'desc' field containing the commit
comment/log and a 'user' field that has the perforce user name.

For every revision only every _changed_ file is retrieved (using p4
print //path/file#revision).
