That's up to the upstream maintainer. I'll suggest it to him.

That's exactly what cygcheck is for. If you don't want it to do integrity
checking, you can give it a -d (dump-only) option in addition to -c, and
it'll simply query the installed package version (which may be different
from any particular executable's version, BTW, although not in case of
wtf). Another place to look would be /usr/share/doc/Cygwin for
wtf*.README. The version on that file should correspond to the package
version.
