On the master branch both are supported. On SIGHUP the logfile is
re-read, the logging level is adjusted and log files are re-opened. Not
everything is being adjusted like ip addresses. But log-levels and
log-files reopening was low-hanging fruit.
That patch is not going into 3.1 though. I much rather put my efforts in
finishing up 3.2 - which is done except for real-life testing by some
brave tester. So I guess I will cut 3.2.0 sometime soon, and mark it as
a release candidate.
That said, I know some people in Russia or the Ukraine (sorry if I don't
remember) are running the master branch in production, and so do I
myself. The master branch is mostly 3.1+ where (+) means:
- several new IMAP capabilities (UIDPLUS WITHIN LOGINDISABLED CONDSTORE
LITERAL+)
- a lot of code cleanup inspired by the static analysis done by the
coverity tool.
With GIT, backporting is not as easy as forward porting. If I do
bug-fixes on 3.1 I can simply use git cherry-pick to integrate them into
master. But the other way around is not so easy given the amount of
changes already done on master.

git format-patch is your friend. Just fork and clone on github, update
the init-script, push your changes, and send me a merge request.

Whichever you prefer.
