The drupal module in 5.x sends a subset of this (site name, URI, IIRC).
The new update module in 6.x supersedes that, but I am not up to date
on the details. It includes installed modules too.
I think the data is in the DB of
drupal.org.
Is it a big deal if the that info is sent? The highest rated comments so far
downplay that it is an issue at all.
Got a chuckle over this:

"Popular open-source blogging engine WordPress has been upgraded to 2.3
— with some unexpected nasties in the mix. As of version 2.3, WordPress
now periodically (every 12 hours) sends personally identifying
information (blog name & URI) to the mothership, along with an alarming
amount of information including $_SERVER dumps, a list of installed
plugins, and your current PHP/MySQL settings. Most unfortunately, it
does not provide any way of disabling this functionality, and WordPress
does not have any privacy policy protecting this information. In a
thread about the issue, lead developer Matt Mullenweg defends his
actions and staunchly refuses to add an opt-in interface, telling users
to 'fork WordPress' if they aren't willing to put up with this behavior."
