Wouldn't it be kind of pointless?  The MySQL code doesn't seem to have this
check.  I don't see why it's needed.  But it probably doesn't hurt anything.

Okay.

At this point it seems like it should be okay to commit.  The bar isn't so high
for a new database driver, as long as it doesn't break anything else.  It's
easier to fix up the issues once it's committed anyway.  Did you say you had
commit access, or would you like someone else to commit it?

There are templates that say what version things are available from. 
Documentation is usually added well before releases, when it's added at all.
