Thanks, please see some comments below.

This is too cryptic.  It should be something like

  Optional argument PORT specifies the port to use; it defaults to
  `sieve-manage-default-port'.

> +When called in interactively prompt for SERVER:PORT
               ^^              ^
This "in" is redundant.  And a comma is missing after "interactively".

> +if :PORT is not specified fallback to `sieve-manage-default-port'."
                             ^^^^^^^^
"fall back", as two words.

>  (defun sieve-upload (&optional name)
> +  "Upload to script NAME to currently opened server.
             ^^
That "to" should be removed.

> +If NAME is nil detect name from script buffer name;
                 ^
Comma missing.  Also, "name" should be "NAME".  And the semicolon at
the end should be a period.

> +If no open sieve buffer exists call `sieve-manage' first."
                                 ^
Comma missing.

>  (defun sieve-upload-and-bury (&optional name)
> +  "Upload script NAME and bury buffer."

This should say "bury the current buffer", not just "bury buffer".

Likewise.

This needs a NEWS entry about the new binding.
