Comment:

 This is still a valid effort (which FWIW I was personally involved in),
 but it's inactive. Particularly due to the modern image format efforts not
 having landed in Core, at this point it makes most sense to defer to the
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-uploads/ Modern Image Formats plugin]
 which implements this functionality.

 Given the lack of traction and years of inactivity and how complex it
 would be to implement this throughout all the different media areas, I
 think it should be closed as `maybelater` for now. If you see this ticket
 and are interested in working on it, please reopen.
