Is this correct, and if so are there any plans to move dotlocks etc. to this directory? What dotlocks? I guess mbox and Maildir have some locks that could be moved there, but a better performance optimization for those installations would be to switch to sdbox/mdbox. Other than that, I don't remember there being anything important that could be moved

Maildir locks yes, switching format is not a procedure I feel comfortable with :) Would it be possible to move the maildir/mbox locks to VOLATILEDIR? Sure it would be possible, but it's such a low priority for us that I doubt we'll be implementing it. Might try and look into it myself.
Something like this? See attached.<volatile-dotlock.patch>
Looks like it works. But could you:
Add it to github as merge request
MAILBOX_LIST_PATH_TYPE_VOLATILEDIR might be useful, but it's kind of a separate change of its own. To simplify, in Maildir code you could have box->list->set->volatile_dir != NULL ? box->list->set->volatile_dir : control_dir. That way it's falling back to control_dir like the previous code when VOLATILEDIR wasn't set.
