At least DustMite is a separate project that is included with DMD for convenience, thus is not tied to the DMD release schedule. It does not have a version because it has no releases - a release is effectively a push to GitHub.

... and yet the repo is tagged with dmd release numbers.

I'm not suggesting the tools _have_ to be tied to dmd release schedule, but some kind of support of --version would make sense, even if it's just to report the hash and date of the most recent commit.

The DustMite repo isn't. The code in the D-P-L tools repo is a copy from https://github.com/CyberShadow/DustMite , updated periodically.
