Bug#979363: update dovecot package?

[Joe Nahmias]

Hello dovecot folks,

Thanks for maintaining dovecot in Debian! I received an alert on my
dovecot-fts-xapian package that it is due to be removed from bullseye due
to security issues in the current dovecot package.

Just wanted to ask if there's anything I can do to help? I could try
updating the package to the latest upstream release, which should fix
those issues, but hesitate to do that without maintainer agreement. Given
the timing, I'd hate for dovecot not to be present when bullseye freezes.

Let me know,
--Joe

Thanks for the offer.  The update is prepared; I should be able to
upload it today.
