It is related with wordpress.org. Let me explain. Akismet keys are given from wordpress.com (free hosted blog service) and that key can be used with bbPress and the Akismet plugin for WordPress (downloaded from wordpress.org) or with other blog softwares have the Akismet plugin.

bbPress integration is dealt with here or in the wordpress.org/support/ forums and issues with your Akismet key are dealt with through the ‘feedback’ or ‘support’ tab in the wordpress.com forums.

Hope that clears it up a little.
