Honestly, I was just interested in learning Forth from an academic perspective. I thought it would be convenient to have a package for it, and practical from a package maintenance perspective due to how infrequently this project changes. However, I know Forth sees usage in low-memory environments, so it is possible some users might see productive benefit from a package.
It's been a month since this has been accepted and marked for needs maintainer. Given nobody has stepped up to provide an accepted patch, marking as wontfix. Feel free to re-open when a patch has been submitted via the appropriate process.
