Wait, so... You have to spend eternity standing at a podium outside heaven, telling people they're going to be tortured in hell forever? Yep. Yep, I do. What if heaven is just a punishment for St. Peter?

Proof heaven is a Klein bottle. Angels are both inside and outside at the same time. And, heaven and hell are the same thing.

Those of us born damned don’t have to disturb him. We are already hellbound without having had a choice in this life. He only has to deal with those who chose to be evil.

I call BS. St. Peter, despite his failings, is the very pillar of faith; when he got out of the boat and started drowning, smart money would have said, head back to the boat. Nope, Petey called out to the Lord to save him. Even when he denied Jesus three times – frankly under very trying circumstances- he still believed in the divine forgiveness.
No, I think Jerry Falwall and ilk will be condemned to call out the peoples’ sins while being forced to watch them stream past into the Pearly Gates. Especially all those terrorist inspiring and earthquake causing gays flip him the bird on their way in.

I have made some bad choices but I am truly sorry I made them, thats repentance so I should be covered there
On a balance sheet of all my good and bad acts I believe I come out well
If judgement comes down to whether I followed all the doctrines and dogma of a particular religion, I’m going to Hell

Once humans are extinct as a species, does he still have to stand there?

No, it isn’t that way at all. That is the cartoon trope version. To New Jerusalem there are 12 entrances carved from giant pearls into the largest building to ever exist. (It will take a larger Earth to hold it since it is 12000 miles long, wide and tall. A promised New Earth.)
