I think "mail.info" may be a better choice, although this may be somewhat OS dependant. Many people may not even know where their syslog configuration file is or even how to configure it. Because of this whatever is the most commonly used syslog call may be the best choice. In FreeBSD there is a default "mail.info". Anyone familiar with Linux Distros and/or other BSDs know how common is an entry for ""mail.info"" in syslog.conf.
But are you saying that Dovecot should log errors also with "info" level by default? That might be newbie-friendly but I'm not sure if it's otherwise such a good idea.
Looks like Dovecot currently uses "info" for info/debug messages, "err" for errors and "crit" for fatals/panics.
