I don't think "forging" is right -- Malone is behaving much like mailing list software in this regard. When you send a mail to a mailing list, the mailing list manager re-sends it with your address. A Malone bug acts like a mailing list.
Malone sets the Reply-To header on such email so that other subscribers to the bug are encouraged to email the bug itself rather than discussing things in private email. I think the body of the message makes it clear that the email was sent by Malone on your behalf.
To my understanding, Malone treats email in much the same way as other bug tracking systems such as Debbugs.
