That would be one possible solution, yes. Personally, I think these kind of version numbers are a bit silly, so I would prefer to append a tag, but I don't feel strongly about that.
How would this be any different from just uploading a new version with an updated cabal file?
From a user perspective it wouldn't be different and it shouldn't be. From a maintainer/trustee POV it's just a convenience feature, which is OK. Having said that, I think that automatically bumping the minor version number would be the right thing to do. Breaking reproducible builds is a horrible idea.
