Sorry, I think my naive question about the Dovecot development process
has lead us astray. The bug wasn't specific to FreeBSD (or the FreeBSD
port.) It's apparently fixed by 31262a892ba7 and 80ed82a93c1a so I was
just wondering how Dovecot development works: should we expect these
patches to be a part of 2.3 when it's released? Or might they appear in
a 2.2.16 or somesuch?
