That's something we forgot to do, maybe worth doing before the LTS?

@seb128 how about changing /etc/gnome/defaults.list by mimeapps.list in Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic) release cycle?
Other Linux distributions already use mimeapps.list , see comment on upstream source code - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/main/gio/gdesktopappinfo.c#L1021 :

  /* We have 'defaults.list' which was only ever understood by GLib. It
   * exists widely, but it has never been part of any spec and it should
   * be treated as deprecated. This will be removed in a future version.
