Well, it's a standard format, and it's a trivial shell script. The options are either including maildirmake(1) in each and every MUA that understands Maildir formats (understanding here that imapds perform many/most functions traditionally assigned to an MUA), and having them all either Conflicts: with one another or using alternatives. Given how simple it is, makes more sense to have it in one place. I don't know where it should be (in all the MTAs?), but there you go :)
