No. It no longer requires patching.
I think I asked the wrong question. Make that, "Is Managesieve going to be merged in to the main server source
No.
(at least the support for it),
Well .. Isn't the support good enough already?

Patch is a wrong word. It's not a patch. But it's an external plugin, and it's going to stay that way. Dovecot's and Pigeonhole's developers are different and they have completely different release schedules. I don't think it would even be a good idea to merge them into same releases. Nowadays with v2.0 it's easy to compile Pigeonhole after installing Dovecot, so I don't even see it as a problem.
