+1 I'm in favor, but ship it as mimeapps.list to comply with modern related 
standards, see:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-1.0.html#file

Proposal: ship a generic/default mimeapps.list initially based on content of 
gnome-mimeapps.list

I'm volunteering to maintain it if/when decisions are made to stray from 
gnome-mimeapps.list at all.
