Is the quota existing in pw_shell a standard vpopmail thing? Is it there
in bytes, kilobytes or what? I could change the code for v1.0.1 to
export the quota in some way if there's a standard.

Dovecot must see the "quota" setting in the full format, such as
"maildir:storage=10240" for 10MB quota. You could export the quota as
bytes/kilobytes from userdb to eg. "quota_bytes" and then use a shell
script to convert it to "quota" setting (see bottom of
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota).

But yes, adding auth_stream_reply_add() is enough to export it.
