I would rather yes. I can see your point with some redundancy between code and documentation, but the bbdev.rst documentation is arguably clearer as it is : the detailed information in paragraphs puts into context some of the information captured in a nice and concise table. Clearer than having to go back and forth in doxygen capturing some of this in a less compact format (which still has its own complementary value). Matter of opinion, let me know if you have a fundamental concern with keeping such table in that document.
