I disagree.  In the time I've been watching/using Dovecot (since the 
0.99 series) Timo has had many cases of improving Dovecot [even if it's 
just a config option name] because of the points of view of other people.

For many reasons, I thinks it would be better if someone else 
[preferably someone with a long history with Dovecot, of course] were to 
write the book, and Timo signed off on it.

Given a sizable portion of understanding Dovecot is understanding email 
in general, I wonder just how much of the book would bifurcate for 
covering the differing versions...
