Yes, please, this is important, we need slirp's maintainer to help reviewing 
the COLO proxy
patches that will be implemented based on slirp. (If we finally come to an 
agreement on realizing it in qemu)

We also need to support ipv6 for slirp, i have emailed Samuel who have sent 
ipv6 patches for slirp before,
but got no response. (I would like to respin and test Samuel's ipv6 slirp patch 
if he don't have time to do this,
but firstly, i need to get his permission ：） ）
