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.
