I've added contrib/angstrom/mtnlog2backports which will filter "mtn log
--no-graph --no-files" (note --no-files) output into format for
BACKPORTS.txt.

You just to mtn pluck -r <rev> one by one, from the oldest, committing
in between. mtn gives default commit message, you should remove first
line as you suggest. Each commit should still include revision which is
being merged and changelog subject for it, I suggest just pasting line
from BACKPORTS.txt. I leave mtn's default text where it is, at the top,
and paste such a line after it. That might help with automated parsing
of ever will be required. But thus such merges do not follow commit
message policy of "normal" commits.
One final note is that I found mtn pluck fail for the following case: a
rev adds a new files, next rev patches it. In this case, I just copy
changed files from dev, and commit reminder of revs together, pasting
few BACKPORTS.txt lines. Of course, you should be careful to not pull
more changes than needed in such case.
