There is a roundcube plugin to edit/create sieve rules, but it has some
serious limitations (as I discovered when I let it loose on my nested
if statements). I use the "sieverules" plugin. It works much like many
of MUA tools to filter things into folders, you select the header you
want to filter by, the content the filter is applied to, and where you
want it to go ... in all it's fairly basic. You might want to look into
 other tools to edit your sieve rules, I haven't looked into other web
based sieve editors, but either VIM, or the "managesieve" plugin to
"claws-mail" are what I use.

Dovecot doesn't actually edit your sieve rules, you do that via an
outside method (text editor, MUA plugin ...)
