Based on the comments in the patches, it looks like Henrique imported 
your work from the 2.3.14 development branch:

ibis:~patches$ pwd
/home/pgoetz/src/cyrus/debian/cyrus-imapd-2.3-hmh/debian/patches
ibis:~patches$ grep -i Duncan *
10-fix_potential_overflows.dpatch:## DP: Revised for 2.3.14 by Duncan 
Gibb <duncan.gibb at siriusit.co.uk>
17-fix_tail_syntax_in_xversion.h.dpatch:## Updated to 2.3.13 by Duncan 
Gibb <duncan.gibb at siriusit.co.uk>
30-update_perlcalling.sh.dpatch:## Updated to 2.3.13 by Duncan Gibb 
<duncan.gibb at siriusit.co.uk>
65-sieveshell-enhancements.dpatch:## Hacked up to 2.3.13 by Duncan Gibb 
<duncan.gibb at siriusit.co.uk>
70-allow-larger-buffers.dpatch:## updated to 2.3.13 by Duncan Gibb 
<duncan.gibb at siriusit.co.uk>
75-update-imapd.conf-documentation.dpatch:## Updated to 2.3.13 by Duncan 
Gibb <duncan.gibb at siriusit.co.uk>


and converted everything to quilt, so I think it should be OK to start 
using cyrus-imapd-2.3-hmh as the "one true branch" modulo whatever stuff 
has been brought in from the Debian main tree.
