I was surprised that directly contacting people worked at all, but since it has I thought I'd allow it and hope it wouldn't piss off too many people.. There won't be more than that one mail, which you're free to just ignore.

If we get enough funding we can hire more people to work on Dovecot (and related projects), and that would be good for everyone.
