Bug#986152: [Shorewall-devel] Bug#986152: RFH: shorewall -- Shoreline Firewall, netfilter configurator
I can come out of retirement enough to fix the issues in upstream... It sure would be great if we could get the final stable Shorewall packages into Debian.

I request assistance with maintaining the shorewall package.
The package description is:
Shorewall allows firewall/gateway requirements to be described using
entries in a set of configuration files. It reads those configuration
files and, with the help of the iptables utility, configures
netfilter to match these requirements.
.
Shorewall supports a wide range of router/firewall/gateway applications,
traffic shaping and almost every type of VPN.
I have maintained the Shorewall packages in Debian for quite a few years
now, but my time to work on them has diminished. The reality is that
there are several issues that require attention, which I cannot at the
moment attend to. Over time the severity of these issues will likely
increase and the eventual result is that the Shorewall packages could be
removed from Debian.
If someone were to be able to devote some effort toward helping, I could
help with reviewing patches, sponsoring uploads, etc. It is still my
hope that I will find additional time to work on the Shorewall Debian
packages, but I do not want to make my inability to find enough time now
cause users of Debian to lose out on access to good quality Shorewall
packages.
Note that this RFH really encompasses the shorewall, shorewall6,
shorewall-lite, shorewall6-lite, shorewall-doc, and shorewall-core
source packages.
