Humans produce two flammable gases: hydrogen and methane. Flammable gases accumulate in an enclosed space and can ignite. Astronauts are humans who spend lots of time in enclosed space. The logic is irrefutable. So, what's the risk to farting astronauts?

But the air in spacecraft is recycled and processed. Wouldn't it be a simple matter to process out the flammable, or otherwise potentually hazardous gasses?
