I don't believe that bmap and gif have support for any of that metadata.

Here are the links to what ExifTool supports for Bmap (http://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/BMP.html) and Gif (http://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/GIF.html) filetypes.

edit: TIL. It looks like GIF supports XMP, so you could use that to add data to GIFs if you wanted.
