I thought I was going crazy since #Today I can't find any obvious mention of #Dovecot and #ChatMail servers.
BUT, here it is: https://github.com/chatmail/relay/tree/main/scripts/dovecot
Based on the kinda snippy text there in the readme, I guess the #DeltaChat folks decided they want to down-play the dovecot dependency in case they decided to do something else in future.
Also, "custom builds" might make some folks ... itchy.
