Hmm... this is a bit concerning.

Should/could we contact the owners and politely ask them to offer an 
explanation and link to our site, and we could do the same?

There is no reason why it can't be made available at the appropriate time. But
the release of Shorewall 3.4 is still months away.

One caveat. Unlike the on-line documentation which makes it clear which releases
of Shorewall contain individual features, the man pages will be targeted for
only a single Shorewall release and will document the behavior of that release.
Consequently, it important that the man pages be associated with exactly the
right version of Shorewall. A single URI for publishing the XML source won't be
able to meet that requirement.
