After seeing bug 54977[1] I've been investigating where our /etc/mime.types
comes from, and it's apparently from Gentoo[2] and hasn't been updated
since Oct 2012.
I would like to propose replacing mime-types with mailcap from Fedora[3],
which is still maintained; it fixes the above bug. It also provides
/etc/nginx/mime.types (conflicts with upstream NGINX, but defines many more
types) and /etc/mailcap (not used by anything we have?).
Thoughts? Objections? Should we also use the mailcap NGINX mime.types?
