Yes, there are not many users (AFAIK) but I, for one, continue to need
and use it.  There are no outstanding shortcomings, but I'm planning a
small efficiency-oriented change and will upload a new issue when
ready (hopefully not many weeks.)

Yes, please!  I have difficulties in figuring out what kind of report
I'd like to see every day.  I already get the relevant number of
packets caught by iptables rules at the end of the day.  Perhaps
number of packets by rule would give more insight?  It is tough to
discriminate distributed attacks from random attacks from unrelated
sources...  Any idea?
