Nobody has ever asked us for that.  However, I'm not aware of any software 
vendor which actually warrants something for his software.  This sort of 
disclamer is commonplace and necessary under US Law.  That's why e.g. the 
eval copy of SwiftForth also contains a warranty disclamer, while MPE 
doesn't do so (european jurisdiction):

"DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
Free of charge Software is provided on an "AS IS" basis, without warranty of
any kind, including without limitation the warranties of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. The entire risk as to
the quality and performance of the Software is borne by you. Should the
Software prove defective, you and not FORTH assume the entire cost of any
service and repair. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential 
part of the agreement."

We take every bug report serious, anyhow.  That may be the cause why nobody 
wanted to give us money to improve the bug report response time.  Though 
some suggestions for typo fixes in the manual have stayed open on Savannah 
for years (that's because the reporter didn't just edit the doc/gforth.ds 
file and send us a patch; in that case, it would have been done much 
faster).
