I don't get the point of your post as smelting 100 items with 1 lava bucket in the stone furnace is vanilla behavior.
Making the change to the stone furnace would require a base file mod. Not happening unless Forge happens to come out with a way to change existing fuel values.
place lava inside iron furnace == waste lava, understand?
don't do it then, geez
or do you want to tell us that IC2 forces you to place lava buckets in furnaces?
You can't put lava buckets in generators anyway... so it kinda doesn't matter...
Plus, Geothermals have the advantage of outputting 10 EU/s instead of 5 EU/s from standard Generators... so while it may SEEM like lava as fuel is nerfed, it's only because EU from lava is more readily available than, say, coal burning...
We're not replacing every lava bucket with a custom item, that would wreak havoc on any other mod that used them.

For the sake of playing devil's advocate in a way you already have: lava cells. I'm sure if you wanted to you could setup the iron furnace to use lava cells (maybe a negative of iron furnaces can be that you can't use lava bucket but only lava cells.)

My understanding was that any modder could submit hooks to be included in Forge.

Could be, I'll look into that. I can think of one or two others to submit too.
Edit: Yep, they take patches. Off to write a few and see what they think.
