I am finding packages that were in BB missing. But they even appear to be
missing from the "for-14.07" branch on GitHub.

You have missed the earlier move in June 2014 to move the packages from
svn.openwrt.org to Github and to move only those packages that somebody wants
to maintain.

Nobody has volunteered to maintain shorewall, so it is still there in the
"oldpackages" repo (that is still accessible in git.openwrt.org). See the
description at: http://git.openwrt.org/?p=packages.git;a=summary
The feed is correctly referenced as "oldpackages" in the BB feeds
definitions:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/barrier_breaker/feeds.conf.default
In CC that "oldpackages" feed is commented out by default, in order to avoid
the non-maintained packages being visible by default:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/chaos_calmer/feeds.conf.default
You can uncomment oldpackages to get access to those packages in menuconfig,
but nodoby knows if they still compile ok with the current CC.
