What's the purpose of this information? If it's a bug, new or not, a ticket needs to be filed. And when I do know it's a new bug, I can open both versions > in the same time, and compare the behaviour for this bug.

I agree that information will save some developer time but at the same time this information is not so easy to gather. This is helpful when the users have some working knowledge of how developer tools work and how to compare file changes. Usually in each version there are a lot of new changes. Often it's not easy for developers even to find out what could be causing the bug. I can easily imagine such a wiki quickly falling into disuse.
