Support for "text/org" in <https://github.com/jshttp/mime-db> would let
the Agregore browser (<https://agregore.mauve.moe/>) render Org files.
Then hyperdrive.el users could share Org files to be viewed in Agregore.
John Kitchin opened a PR back in 2017, which was rejected:

I would suggest opening a new PR.

I'd like to open a new PR. Would you elaborate on "de facto mimetype"?
Nothing more than my opinion:
I think, if you are going to convince somebody outside of Org community
then you should mention that the format is supported by GitHub and
GitLab. Org files are rendered using org-ruby gem. Only a part of
features is available, but still useful.
<https://github.com/github/markup/>
shared-mime-info used by Linux desktop applications has .org text/org
association:
<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/blob/master/data/freedesktop.org.xml.in>
(though text/x-org alias and -*- mode: org -*- magic are missed).
Thunderbird sends .org attachments as text/org without explicit
configuration.
Till finalizing of https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html and writing
spec (RFC) there is no point to send a request to IANA.
Emacs will continue to use text/x-org till somebody manages to convince
developers that transition to text/org does not break backward compatibility
<https://debbugs.gnu.org/68687>
Actually Emacs will continue to use application/vnd.lotus-organizer in
some cases since to /etc/mime.types has higher priority.
I am not familiar with Agregore, but my opinion that media type
associations should be configurable in applications and either
shared-mime-info or /etc/mime.types should has higher priority than any
built-in mapping, perhaps besides some exceptions for media types
directly related to the application.
