Who maintains the SFE package? If somebody is already maintaining it, I don't think I should butt in. (?)
I kind of have my hands full trying to get a grip on video card device drivers for Illumos, which I think OI desktop users would benefit greatly from if I can figure it out, and get it through the whole acceptance process. If I give up on it -- and I don't give up very easily -- I'd be more inclined to do some package work for OI. I can't really take that on right now, though. At a later time, I might take you up on that offer, though! I'm just wondering how often dovecot SFE gets updated? I don't think building a script to update dovecot from sources would be that hard, and I wouldn't mind sharing it with others if I end up going that route, but I find the whole thought of that a bit ugly.
