For creating a special use mailbox there is the CREATE-SPECIAL-USE
capability (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154, Section 3). As you
suggested, the special use attributes can also be changed using the
METADATA capability (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6154, Section 4).
Unfortunately, both of these features are not yet supported by Dovecot.
They are also basically two sides of the same feature.
For Dovecot to support CREATE-SPECIAL-USE it has to store that state
somewhere anyway... and that would probably be in a METADATA dict.
I think it is already possible to return special use attributes from
userdb, although I haven't verified that.
Neither have I, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work. That would
probably be the easiest way to support per-user SPECIAL-USE (which I
think makes more sense than a global hardwired setting).
But to make it really useful, it would require Sieve support. Like:
