This has been discussed and is already on various wish-lists, including the one I use for not forgetting about things:

That would be nice, yes. But it's not very easy to accomplish - at the time we get a successful guess we no longer "know" what rule or word created a certain candidate (due to buffers and stuff). We could add code for it, but it would hit performance.
You can use --mkpc=1 for getting a 1:1 between rules and guesses in the log, but that too hits performance (sometimes a lot).
