Considering you are only checking the issue_type and summary fields and you know the values you are looking for (i.e. words like Bug, Reopened etc.), you can do it this way -
<your search> | eval details=issue_type.summary | rex max_match=0 field=details "(?<word>(?i)(Bug|Reopened|Closed))" | stats count by word

SPJ-171 Bug Reopened n for aaam
SPJ-18 Bug Reopened_m for AAAM
