Hi Russ, I would be interested to have pointers to such projects. For the registered media types, in my undestanding both mime-support (or its equivalents in other distributions) and shared-mime-info (through its XDG upstream) are tracking IANA's definitions, which is a duplication of work that I would be glad to see resolved. The biggest hurdle is probably that the divergence in regard to the unregistered types, and the potential side effects of changes if a merger happened.
