Yeah, that'd be cool. Unfortunately it isn't straight forward to get it working. Currently we use GDK Pixbuff as the image loader, and it doesn't have that information in it. So, we'd need to use something like libpng directly to get the information out. Not impossible, but not trivial either.
I'm not sure on your experience, but if you'd like to work on this, I'd be happy to provide pointers.

While doing some graphic design for printing I'm often obliged exchanging pixmap and vector graphics between GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus. Inkscape discards DPI of GIMP exported graphics, which is really unintuitive. Drawings that GIMP displays exactly how they were saved previously (I'm referring to format here -- A3, A4, B5 etc.) Inkscape opens at wrong DPI thus they're a few times bigger. Not a big deal when the whole page is exported from gimp (just scale picture at format's dimensions) , but makes things complicated if many smaller components are imported to be assembled in Inkscape. I must write down every single component's width or height and scale it proportionally. Really time consuming...
