You can always use MIME-Editor to create your own package file.  It modifies
the file $HOME/.local/share/mime/packages/Override.xml.  You can then
extract the relevant sections into xmi.xml for installation via
update-mime-database.  It would be nice if MIME-Editor could generate the
file without needing manual edits of XML files though.

If you want types adding to the freedesktop.org.xml file then you should go
to http://www.freedesktop.org and raise it on the mailing list there
(https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xdg-list).
