That is a configuration setting, just like the workflow states. On VTK,
developers, managers and the administrator can reopen bugs. I'll add
reporter and viewer as well.

Still seems to be coming through:

http://markmail.org/search/vtk-developers+list:org%2Evtk%2Evtk-developers+mantis+from:%22Mantis+Bug+Tracker%22+order:date-backward

Now the part about "the release manager reads all newly submitted bugs and
asks developers who are familiar with the area of VTK that the bug relates
to to do a cursory review" hasn't been working so well.
