Yes, Tracker has no specific knowledge of these files.

We do accept patches :). As Debarshi pointed out, there's quite a few
examples in src/tracker-extract in the tracker git tree.

But those Tracker extract modules rely on specific enough mimetypes,
could be worth checking first whether shared-mime-info knows about
jupyter specifically, eg. doing:

gio info $FILE |grep content-type

Cheers,
