If by "support", you mean we don't do any verification of what the
"forwarded" string is (and neither does the BTS), then yes we support it.

I wouldn't claim that, though.  It's probably better to just use wording
similar to how the BTS explains it.

    address should generally be a URI, or possibly an email address.  Using
a URI where possible allows tools to query a remote bug tracking system
(such as bugzilla) for a bug's status.

Essentially, "address" can be arbitrary text, but common convention is for
it to be an email address or link.

Cheers,
James
