I'm unsure how to let devs know which version of the Wayland display server I'm running in Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. How can I get the proper version for Wayland? Is it just the package version?

There is no Wayland display server. Wayland is a protocol. The compositor is the closest thing you get to a display server. In Gnome, that's mutter. So in Ubuntu, you'd probably do something like apt-cache show mutter | grep Version.

You can see what version of Gnome you are currenlty running, as this often used for reference when talking about gnome-shell extensions and other Wayland related software issues,
apt-get list gnome
