It's possible I push some pull-request later, yes. But, as said in some previous email, I'm not really sure it's Orbot job to set up firewall… I rather prefer dedicated app for dedicated task — Orbot main task is, for me, connecting to Tor network… Basically, this just doesn't involve the firewall at all.
But yeah, I know, users like "all-in-one apps" — who knows, once torrific is ready (i.e. no more broken rules, no more bugs like "craps, network's broken")… the devs may get some PR ;). Torrific is also, for me, a way to play with android without annoying other applications. To be honest, I'd rather contribute this function in AFWall than Orbot, as it already is a firewall manager (and not a bad one).
