Last I checked, the bugs already spoke about giving utilities the ability to punch holes in the firewall and then close them when they're done. The same issue persists in rygel as well[2]. The printer settings in gnome already seem to open up ports in the firewall after taking permission from the user. If the gnome sharing and people nearby applications could do the same, this would make it easier for users. This solution makes it a task for upstreams of these software I'd think. Not a lot firewalld can do here. Even a pop up message that says "XXXX port needs to be opened in the firewall, open firewall configuration?" would work IMO. At the moment, I need to search the web to find what ports each service needs and open them up manually. Either these applications gain the capability to open these ports, or at least properly document what ports need to be open. Rygel, btw, uses a dynamic port via libsoup or something. The user has to configure it to use a static port manually to start with :/ I really haven't looked at any of the source codes. This is from personal experience and the on-going rygel issue which I was unfortunate enough to run into.
