There is a comment field too which would be nice to support. The Go gzip module has a Header class that describe all the metadata. I see in 3.8 mtime was made configurable, so hopefully we can add comment and extra. https://golang.org/pkg/compress/gzip/#Header For our purpose we'd like to put arbitrary stuff in a gzip file but it is complicated to do so, I might use the patch here and apply to the python gzip module, but that feels a bit hackish.
