Add software FIRESTARTER in mageia repository

I checked this repository mageia ( http://ftp.nluug.nl/ibiblio/distributions/mageia/distrib/cauldron/i586/media/core/release/ ) and not found the software Firestarter ( http://www.fs-security.com/ ), which is an excellent firewall for linux. 


The software Firestarter can be added to mageia repository?

I downloaded the Firestarter 103 from the site RPM pbone(package for Mandriva 2010.1) and it was installed and works 0k in Mageia Beta2.

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/14253760/dir/mandriva_2010/com/firestarter-1.0.3-15mdv2010.1.i586.rpm.html

Can Mageia have its own package firestarter?

I am using Firestarter 1.0.3 (Mandriva 2010.1 package) in the "Mageia 1" since its installation in June 1, and it is working very well.

I think it's a complement to the Mageia native firewall (Shorewall), because Firestarter is simple and easy to use (great for novice user) and provides lots of information to the user through graphical and intuitive presentation.
