One thing I'd like is to sort the simple one line foo = bar settings
first (before the blocks) - in alphabetcial order. If it makes more
sense to keep the blocks in a specific order, thats fine, otherwise you
could alphabetize them too.

Right now, if you have a lot of settings, finding any particular setting
(ie, when troubleshooting) is much more difficult than it should be,
especially for someone new to dovecot.
