It's all actually only a few simple additions to current code, at least
if I get the logic sensible (which I don't think it currently is).

Also you won't have to use those "group" groups at all. I probably won't
even given an example of their use in dovecot-example.conf so it won't
confuse people who don't need it.

The only visible change for most people will be just that login/auth
group definitions would be inside { .. } which I think makes more sense
than the current kludgy way.

I do plan to keep the config file as simple as possible for normal
installations.
