Because only "contributors" (ie, people in at least one non cla group)
have @fedoraproject.org aliases.

We are working on this with the new account system. It has a 'bugzilla
email address' field. However, we need to put in place verification of
those addresses before we enable it on our side/in bugzilla. 
Once thats there you should be able to put your fedoraproject.org
address in there. 

In the mean time we can override this for bugzilla. 
File a infrastructure ticket for it.

This is also being worked on. It turns out to be a lot harder than we
first thought. Hopefully that will land soon.
