I'm not in favour of such a thing. Just because they coincide now doesn't mean 
they will ever again in the future. If you now tell people that there's some 
link between the phpMyAdmin version and the upstream versions, they will 
expect such a link to also be in other future versions where that link may 
not exist at all.

There's already good places to document requirements. Lets just keep the 
version numer a way to indicate which version is more recent than which, and 
use bigger or smaller jumps to indicate the amount of changes (bugfix, 
feature, major incompatibility release). Not more, not less.
