Part of it is because nobody fixes bugs in a stable release, unless they are security bugs or very critical bugs. It would not make sense, since only fixes for security and very critical bugs are released in the stable 'point releases'. Therefore, bugs reported against the stable release just accumulate. This does not mean they are not accounted for; if they are still applicable for testing, they get fixed there.
