The On Reopen condition will trigger any time the ticket moves from an
inactive status to an active status.  You could use that plus a 1 line
custom action to set the owner to nobody, if you're ok with the
possible failure modes (internal user manually reopening a ticket). If
you need it to be explicitly a part of the On Correspond Open Tickets
scrip, you'll need to extend the AutoOpen action a bit to change
the owner.
