So, as a developer, I would think comments (and the platform field) would be sufficient for these rare cornercases. For fixed and reappearing, I think its not really an issue: - if the bug is really fixed, it should have a dev having insight in the some issue already (and reading a few comments is not so much work compared to the total effort in these cornercases) - if the bug was not fixed but just "disappeared" -- that is, stopped being there without a dev claiming to intentionally having fixed it, it is likely a Heisenburg anyway and the version info to be used carefully (or even ignored) anyway.
