I just use Cyrus's Sieve implementation and I don't have any plans on
adding new features to it myself. If it gets added to Cyrus, I can port
the code to Dovecot.

Stephan Bosch however is writing his own new Sieve implementation, which
I'm hoping will eventually replace Cyrus Sieve. But even then it pretty
much depends on Stephan if he wants to implement it.

I will not go into too much detail on the current progress, but I am 
getting closer to a first release. Most extensions that cmusieve 
supports are now supported by the new implementation as well (with 
notify as notable exception). Support for the variables extension is 
under development, but I am not sure whether it will be included in the 
first release. I am working on the variables extension already to be 
able to provide full implementations of include and imap4flags, which 
partly depend on the variables extension.

Note that my time to work on this project is regularly interrupted by 
periods during which I am working on my graduation full-time, so there 
is really no way to tell or plan when exactly I will produce a first 
release. It should not take more than a few more months though (I 
started in October).

Regards,

Stephan
