As a maintainer of zsh, and heavy user of zsh I will never base any complet= ion for zsh on bash completion, for simple reasons I consider bash completion hackish, and most of the time inefficient on zsh. We are speaking of opensource software, if bash users want to see their completion improved then they should just provide patches. I am a zsh guy a= nd I do not update zsh completion because of ENOTIME already so...
