Why no --timeout option with --add-source?

[David Sewell]

I've just begun using firewalld, and am curious whether there is a reason why the
--timeout option is not available with --add-source. That would be useful in a case where
you want to permit connection to a host from a specific IP address or range for a limited
period of time--an hour or 24 hours say. 

It's not terribly important, but it would be nice to have the ability.

Because no one has implemented it yet. :)

If you have a use case, then please file an issue upstream to request
the feature be added.
