I didn't had a deep look at the current situation, but I'm asking myself (and others) if we should continue to support MATE (maintain, fix bugs, document, advise users, ...), as lua seems to be the way to go for "scriptable things".
I haven't had more that a passing glance at the Lua stuff in Ethereal so far.
Does it let you define rules to associate packets together so that you can then filter on some of these associations?
That's what I've been tinkering with recently to try and associate RADIUS, HTTP, and some other packets together (linking Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS to src.addr of other packets and HTTP packets with X-Forwarded-For set to the same value).
