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.
