Our idea is either in the namespace declaration or if a folder has a dovecot-shared file/symlink, have a ldap lookup defined in say, dovecot-ldap-shares.conf or dovecot-ldap.conf, that queries a dn and looks for memberUID or a group dn, then those uids/groups can get into the IMAP maildir.
I guess this could work as a simpler ACL plugin backend, if you only needed "all access" vs. "none access". Or the ACLs could be defined in LDAP as well. I'd rather not touch LDAP more than I have to, though. :)
I was also going to add support for defining multiple groups in dovecot-auth (either as plain names or name=GID lists to give access to multiple GIDs). Once that works, it's also possible to support group ACLs in the vfile ACL backend too.
