It does in the not entirely uncommon case where you have setup

With solr the indexing is done out-of-process and typically under a
safe uid.

no doveconf -n, no problem

if you really have a bug it should be solved

i think you could

su --user=non-root-user doveadm index -A

to not have it run as root, it works well for fangfrisch, dovecot should not allow commands as root without thinking of consequences
