Shorewall 5.0.6 and later offer Docker co-habitation support. With intermediate versions removed and 5.0.4 the last stable, this is not yet available in the tree. Arches, please test & mark stable: =net-firewall/shorewall-5.0.7.2 This package was added to the tree 12 days ago. No bugs resulted.
I have deliberately chosen to skip versions between 5.0.4 and 5.0.7.2 for stabilization. These versions contain serious bugs (for example see bug 578076). shorewall-5.0.7.2 is my current candidate for stabilization. However I don't understand why we cannot wait 30 days. Like you said, after v5.0.4 new features like explicit Docker support were introduced. But isn't that the purpose of Gentoo's stabilization policy to wait and test new versions before stabilization? If there's a reason why you cannot wait two more weeks please share and explain why an exception of Gentoo's general stabilization policy is justified.
Because the skipping/removal of versions, the current stable is actually 2 months old already. It breaks on Docker systems in quite unhelpful ways, for which fixes have been introduced. The 5.6 breakages were spotted in under a week, and we are approaching two weeks here. A reasonable timeframe for a "fast track" stabilisation. Note that the 30 days is simply a guideline and not a law. It is a balance between software freshness and stability; from the looks of things we are swinging too far towards stability here at the cost of freshness/usability.
Well, the current stable version doesn't *break* something. It is lacking of explicit Dockers support but a missing feature cannot break something. But OK. I would have had already started stabilization of shorewall v5.0.6 if we wouldn't have experienced bug 578076. So please proceed with stabilization. ALLARCHES policy does apply.
