There are no plans to add compression for log files. And I can't recall any
prior feature request asking for this though I see the appeal. Feel free to
put in a feature request issue on GitHub.
I imagine it wouldn't be hard to add this feature. If anyone wants to
contribute this feature, you're welcome to. My team is unfortunately down a
developer, and already behind on other work. It is unlikely that we'll pick it
up ourselves.

I guess this might be useful in docker or a similar container,
but it would be a lot if work to do it on every platform
and unless you include the right optional features, a lot
of people will use logrotate anyway.
