It is a pity that Debian's dovecot is having many open security issues and is
not properly maintained. However, the criteria on making a backport is to
properly fix those issues in Testing and Unstable/Sid first.

As you can see in https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dovecot , Debian's dovecot
package maintainer did not make any update in the last 9 months. It would be
better if you could help and push forward the package maintenance in
Testing/Sid first before considering backports.

I'm also sending mail copies to dovecot package maintainers in hope that they
would put their hands on the package again.
