Hi Timo, FWIW -- to see Ubuntu-specific patches on top of Debian packaging, you could visit http://ubuntudiff.debian.net/?query=-S+dovecot and Debian patches are exposed at http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/dovecot/
you could also subscribe to Debian package tracking in the lower left corner on http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dovecot.html which should give you options to choose for mail notifications about bts: All bug reports and associated discussions. bts-control: Notifications about status changes of bug reports. cvs: Commit notices of the VCS repository associated to the package (it's not limited to cvs, it might be anything). upload-source: Notifications of new sourceful uploads. upload-binary: Notifications of binary-only uploads (uploads of buildd mainly). summary: Regular summary mails about the status of the package. Currently, these report about the transition into testing, available new upstream versions as well as informations about package removal or orphaning. contact: Mails from people contacting the maintainer via pack...@packages.debian.org. default: Mails manually sent to the PTS address. buildd: Notifications of build failures from build daemons. derivatives: Information about changes made to this package by derivatives (e.g. Ubuntu). derivatives-bugs: Bug traffic about this package in derivative distributions (e.g. Ubuntu). katie-other: Other mails sent by dak (the software running the archive). ddtp: Translations of the package's description created by DDTP contributors. P.S. I usually announce to the upstream authors availability of such option (to subscribe to announcements) whenever I upload the very first version of a package to Debian archive. Not sure though how many get actually subscribed since it adds additional burden for them...
