Comment (by marisn):

 It's not about GeoTIFFs but about writing out World file. It's a nice
 meta-data add-on. It's not meant to replace proper data export for
 analysis, but can serve well to keep tracks of various screen dumps.

 I.e. if I want to know what (where) I was using as a sample data to create
 PNG image with some random content for lectures, I can simply load that
 PNG into QGIS and see it's location. Probably writing out some other meta
 data according to some ISO spec would also be fine, still World file (i.e.
 .pgw) is also a nice start.
