Hi,

I have gone through the patches that are used in the Fedora package and
probably only the "mkcert-permissions" [1] can be considered to be
included upstream. It is dated into package version 1.0-0.beta2.3, but I
cannot find any particular reason for the inclusion (like a bug in
bugzilla, etc.). Some (winbind support, quota warnings) were obsoleted
by dovecot 1.1, two are used for distro specific settings. So the only
real patch that remains is the "pam_setcred" [2] patch that fixes
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=146198

Current state of the package for Fedora is at
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/dovecot/devel/
