Best practice these days is to file a bug report (or MR) to GitHub.

https://github.com/dovecot/ shows the various Dovecot components.

We are actively working on improving our various websites, so this updated 
recommendation will (eventually) work its way on the pages somewhere.

That would be the proper way to suggest.

Do note: as mentioned in another message to the list I just sent, the mission 
of the Dovecot documentation is to document how the software works.  It is not 
to document email server hosting best practices.  Determination of which PW 
hashing algorithm to use seems to be in the latter category.  (Documenting that 
Dovecot supports argon2id is in scope per the former, but it sounds like we did 
our job there.)
