I think you'd need to raise the issue with Debian so their maintainer can update their packages.
Debian can't make a Dovecot release.
They could add cherry-picked patches, as can other OS/distributions, but this is a lot easier if there's an actual release - not least because it's more obvious that crashes have been fixed if there,'s a release rather than commits on a maintenance branch.
There will be no further CE 2.3 release absent a security issue.

Thanks Michael. That is what I thought the situation was, but "maintenance" implied something more to me so I wondered if anything had changed.
