Information of shortages of priests? or on the married priesthood?

If the latter, there is no central place to look for information, as the norms governing such are specific to each sui juris church. In the case of the Ruthenian Church, candidates for priesthood who wish to marry beforehand (must be before ordination) must seek permission of their bishop, who is obligated to clear it with Rome.

There are other sui juris churches that make their own determination and set their own rules.

The information you have gotten here regarding married priesthood in the Eastern Catholic Churches seems to be generally correct.
