I did this for my own child theme.
But all the other BP pages (directory pages, profile pages, etc.) use the <h2>. It would be too much work to edit every single template file to modify the <h2> to <h1>.
All that is required in the header.php file is to use conditional code saying if front page, wrap site title in h1 tags else h4 and then set the post/page titles by default to h1, which is what they should be IMO.
So submit an enhancement ticket on http://trac.buddypress.org and a patch if can.

I wouldn’t use <h4> because the structure of the page wouldn’t make sense.
<h4>Site title</h4>
<h2>Secondary page item</h2>
etc.
I’d use a <div> or <span> tag instead.
div and span elements are non semantic grouping or aggregating elements, as such they are not suitable for content directly. ‘site title’ would need to be one of either heading or paragraph tag
Using a primary heading tag such as H1 for ‘site title’ a string that is the same across the site or pages is a waste of the most important document outline tag.
