The problem I have with the deliver name in general is that there is a
pre-existing LDA project[1] with the same name, and even within the
scope of the Dovecot mailing list, it isn't a unique term, so it makes
it harder to sift out information specific to the LDA sub-project.

This gets my vote. (Assuming "Dovecot-lda" replaces the "deliver" name
in the documentation, as well.)

Agreed.
