Comment:

 The plugin implementing the proposed fix (via #39963) can now be found in
 the main WordPress Plugins repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/blob-
 mimes/

 If you had already installed version `0.1.2` directly from the ticket, you
 should automatically see the usual orange upgrade notice within the next
 24 hours, which will transition you to the WP-hosted version.

 If you are currently using an older version or running it from a server
 that can't reach Github (the previous host), please uninstall the plugin
 and reinstall it from the official WordPress Plugins repo get catch up.

 The new release includes a handy upload debug tool for users with
 `manage_options` privileges (e.g. admins) under `Tools > Debug File
 Validation`. If at any point in the future the Media Library is rejecting
 something it shouldn't, please use that tool to gather some useful
 feedback information and post it to #39963 (or email me if you aren't
 comfortable posting it publicly).

 Thanks!
