This is a completely unrelated issue. Gimp opening PDFs is a bug in
gimp, not a bug in evince. Furthermore, it only happens with the XDG
system outside GNOME/KDE, not with the old MIME system, since gimp
doesn’t ship a legacy MIME file.

I’d appreciate if the release team and CTTE could avoid basing their
decisions upon such misinformed claims.

Thanks,
