no - i do not want to tie our version to theirs

I'm not in favour of such a thing. Just because they coincide now doesn't mean they will ever again in the future. If you now tell people that there's some link between the phpMyAdmin version and the upstream versions, they will expect such a link to also be in other future versions where that link may not exist at all.
There's already good places to document requirements. Lets just keep the version numer a way to indicate which version is more recent than which, and use bigger or smaller jumps to indicate the amount of changes (bugfix, feature, major incompatibility release). Not more, not less.
