We are not using git yet, but it seems interesting enough to start
doing so from now on. We will be looking into it, so it shall take
some more time before we can get back to you with a patch.

Indeed, keeping the user mailboxes on the same partition/server seems
more logical.
Only new user account is concerned by this behaviour. When a new user
subfolder is created, its parent server/partition is still retrieved
and used unless explicitely given as parameter upon creation.
