This sort of functionality is generally provided by someone willing to maintain such a plugin and keep in touch with Bram for getting updated versions into the Vim distribution (or simply publish it independently on vim.org). The gzip/bzip plugin is the only one maintained by Bram. I'll leave this bug open in case someone would like to step forward and write such a plugin, but I don't have the time to write and maintain one.
