    There seem to be plenty of recently-added customized options which
    don't have a :version.

I am not surprised that people forget this.

      Examples are the tramp group and
    imenu-eager-completion-buffer (which changes the default behaviour and
    isn't mentioned in NEWS).

Would someone please volunteer to diff the current sources against
21.1 and find the defcustoms that have been added?  It should be
fairly easy to write a script to do this.  Take the diff output, grep
for defcustom, extract just the variable names, then check each one
against a TAGS file for version 21.1; if it's not present there, it is
new.
