Here are my two cents.

It is not right not normal. Mistakes should not be punished, and bugs represent feedback.

If there is some technical debt or a misunderstanding of the requirements, you want your system to get that feedback, the earliest the better.

It is not good for the team nor the product to be shamed for a mistake you made six months ago.

A better culture is one where knowledge is encouraged, you should try to learn from those mistakes and share that knowledge with the team and/or make it available.
