For me it depends on whether I can reproduce a bug or not. If a crash
happens only in the scenario of the user reporting it, then not having
a backtrace a bug is quite useless for a dev. If I can reproduce a crash
then I don't need a backtrace attached to the bug.

That's not what was written, re-adding part of the quote you omitted:

So, REOPENED -> dev means that the dev is responsible, not that only
a dev can reopen. Of course QA can also close a bug again if it was
reopened under false premises.
