I implemented this to Dovecot now too.

I did consider this too, but then I thought that it could cause wrong
results in some special situations. For example if another user's
mailbox is symlinked to your private namespace and you change your own
rights, it really should change them and not the owner's.

IIRC in v1.1 mailbox ACL files take precedence, but in v1.2 globals take
precedence. I changed it because users shouldn't be able to override
admin's decisions.
