\Seen flags can be very efficiently looked up with doveadm mailbox
status 'messages unseen' INBOX. \Replied flag requires going through the
index, which is a little bit slower, but still quite fast: doveadm
search mailbox INBOX replied

The check works well enough currently. I change it only when enough bots
learn the answer that I have to keep reverting the changes several times
a week.

Hmm. The way it works is that all edits go to master.wiki* server and
they are rsynced to the two mirror wiki* servers. I hadn't really
thought of users before. Only users created on master.wiki* are
preserved, the others will get deleted after the next rsync.

I guess there should be some kind of redirection to master.wiki also
when creating a user, maybe also when logging in, but that would require
some more moinmoin patching.. Anyone want to do that? :)
http://dovecot.org/tmp/moin-1.9.3-master-mirror.diff is my current
patch.
