It should work similarly to scanning *.el.gz files. Depending on how the
snippet was made (e.g., with a regex that accepts *.gz NEWS files), it
might even work with no changes.

It's indeed barely anything, but I also don't see much of a reason to
not do it. If we're already compressing a bunch of files, why not
compress the stale NEWS files at the same time?
