+1 (non-binding) Thanks for starting a vote.
There's extra context in the PR description. As a summary, `gz.metadata.json` is the current naming convention for GZIP compressed metadata.json file and is implemented in both java <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/97c0e136b8021058897cab7539e3ef89ce5a0341/core/src/main/java/org/apache/iceberg/TableMetadataParser.java#L69-L83> and python <https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/blob/82e025ee73f04e6174bb1b4d853804d609ca5b67/pyiceberg/serializers.py#L35>. `metadata.json.gz` is considered the backwards-compatible naming scheme. We agreed to address expanding the naming convention at a later time. This PR just documents the current implementations.
