SFE has active dovecot maintainer. The problem is build system now, I
hope it will be solved soon.

If I give up on it -- and I don't give up very easily -- I'd be more inclined to do some package work for OI.  I can't really take that on right now, though.  At a later time, I might take you up on that offer, though!

If I end up using dovecot - which I probably will - I'd like to keep it fairly up to date.  I'm trying to decide whether I want to use the sfe repository, or write my own update script to keep it updated from the sources.
