It's true it's possible to reopen questions by editing their status but this is neither very easy or very obvious.
Would you consider reopening this bug if we consider it as the UI issue "it's too slow to reopen and answer expired questions?"
By my count it's four clicks and two page loads, when it would IMO be reasonable to have the form directly on the page and then just one click to submit it.
