I've just pushed this:

maint: once again distribute .tar.gz files
* configure.ac: Reenable distribution of gzip-compressed tarballs,
to help reduce the size of the Guix seed, as discussed at
https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2020-02/msg00042.html and
https://lists.gnu.org/r/sed-devel/2020-01/msg00013.html
* NEWS (Release): Mention this.
