Hoi,
I would seriously consider this for two reasons. Yes, we can include this
kind of information, obviously. It is worthwhile information so that is one.

The most important reason why I want to seriously have this information is
because the audience we gain. It is the developers of MediaWiki. They gain
first hand experience and consequently they will start first to gain
experience and use it and second start to consider it for what else
Wikidata can do for them.

My blogpost about Commons and Wikidata was written exactly because Wikidata
is not understood and considered by this most vital group for the further
development of Wikidata and MediaWiki.
Thanks,
     GerardM
