Even better - why not put it in the file upload part?  Then if the 
submitter set the disclaimer on file to yes, for the report, and he 
uploads a patch, it'll automatically be marked as disclaimed.  If 
another user uploads a patch, it will prompt them for whether their 
disclaimer is on file - and perhaps it could remember this setting per 
bug/per user, so if the same user uploads a second patch, it'll 
automatically set it to yes.
