Well, it already does (see the configuration keyword CheckMail in
sshd's man page), but only for mbox style mailboxes. The patch does
not add a feature but tweaks an already existing feature to work
with Maildir style mailboxes.
Since the feature is there, I want it to work with my setup, which 
is Maildir style mailboxes.
Whether it is OpenSSH's job to inform about mail status at
login-time is a different matter.
