Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 >  I'm wondering if WordPress should detect when a lossless image is
 uploaded, and generate lossless resizes?

 Good idea, I agree the expectation when uploading a lossless image is the
 subsizes should also be lossless.

 Imagick will only use lossless if we set the quality to 100 or above then
 call `$img->setOption('webp:lossless', 'true');`, so we need to do that
 manually. With LibGD we need to set the quality to `gdWebpLossless`.

 For WebP uploads, the patch already includes code that reads a WebP header
 and determines the file type, which we could use. For other formats, we
 can tell lossy/lossless by the file type.
