I would use report-emacs-bugs to report these properly. It's possible
that I'll have time to look at this in the next week or so, but I don't
have time right now, and having a bug report makes it more likely people
will notice. I can't test at the moment since sieve-manage won't even
log in to the two mail servers that I use :(

As to your last point, you might find it simpler to create a ~/.authinfo
file containing a line like:

machine <server> login <user> port sieve password <password>

You can also pgp-encrypt that file and it will work transparently.
