I don't remember having seen all that much requests for this feature.
Perhaps lately several people have asked for it, but for the last 3
years there haven't been all that many people.

If I added a new setting for every single feature people asked,
dovecot-example.conf would be much larger than it currently is. And it
already is too large I think.

So instead of adding lots of special case settings, I prefer to add few
settings that can be useful for other cases as well. With that in mind,
how about a setting something like this:

# Username formatting before it's looked up from databases. You can use
# the standard variables here, eg. %Lu would lowercase the username or
# %n would drop away the domain if it was given. This translation is 
# done after auth_username_translation changes.
#auth_username_format =
