hi I have filed a new bug against shared mime info at, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106792. I accidentally commented on a bug that was not mine, I've attempted to find a way to delete the comment since it was clearly the wrong bug but I can't find a remove comment button. This is a feature request, not a problem or bug in shared mime info itself, but I couldn't find a feature request option.
