More precisely: Each login process tracks the proxying state internally.
There is no global state tracked or any way to talk to login processes.
I think the most efficient way to implement this some day would be to
add:

 * admin connection to login processes where you can issue commands such
as "kick" or "list users"
 * a "login process tracker" process, which has a connection to all the
login processes and can proxy commands/replies to them (without this
each process would have to have its own UNIX socket listener, such as
login-admin-<pid>, which is kind of ugly)
 * doveadm commands that can talk to login processes via the tracker
process
