Ahh thanks. I just read the bug report and looks like it might not happen 
anytime soon.

I looked at ferm but that appears to be similar and won’t be updated to support 
nftables. There was a bug filed to netfilter for some usability improvements 
that might be useful if switching to plain nftables configuration files.

I also found APF which might be a good alternative frontend.
