 Not something I can affect, but just a couple of comments on what
looks like a useful, but unadventurous, change :

1. Firing patches at the list, without copying them to a maintainer,
often means that they are ignored.  Perhaps this should be sent to
the trivial maintainer (unless the documentation maintainer thinks
this is within his area - I have not looked to see if anybody admits
to maintaining this).

2. Perhaps you should also mention .xz variants ?  Actually, on a
version of tar from the last few years, tar -xf
linux-4.X.tar.{gz,bz,xz} "just works".  But I'm sure that some people
who deliberately test on antique userspace (and perhaps people who
do not use gnu tar) might take a different view on that.
