One possibility to revive Shutter would be to crowdfund a professional to do the necessary development. This worked with Lazarus, a browser extension for saving web forms: https://github.com/lazarus-recovery/lazarus_addon/issues/2 In the case of Lazarus the total money required was about 500$ which was supplied by around 20 users in total. I think, properly organized, this could also be achieved for Shutter.
However, I fear that the amount of money needed for Shutter would be way higher (counting just the number of code lines, Shutter is much more work intensive than just a browser extension). Also, the tasks to do are a lot (port to GTK3, port to Wayland, etc.). Furthermore, even if all of this works out, Shutter will become unmaintained again after the work is done.
