Unfortunately no; I'll do it now.
But I fear 300 seconds timeout can be too low. Take for example an
application like a webmail: one can easily return to it after an hour or so,
and it could be annoying if it requires a new authentication almost every
time. I think it should not be much difficult to add an argument to SAME
representing the timeout, if I find it is really needed.

Anyway, it could be nice to have the ability to assign addresses/ports to
ipsets in mangle, like we do to mark packets (low priority, kind feature
request).

Thank you
