Comment:

 I like the idea of extending the MIME types filter in Media Library! I
 don't like duplicating MIME types and maintaining them in several places
 though. I think we could reuse the existing
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_ext_types/
 wp_get_ext_types()] and
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_mime_types/
 wp_get_mime_types()] functions for this. The former supplies a list of
 extensions per group (`document`, `spreadsheet`, etc.), and the latter
 returns the list of supported MIME types.

 It seems like there's a consensus to add the "Documents" group, let's do
 that as a first step and then evaluate if any other groups are needed. See
 [attachment:"38195.3.diff"].

 > It is worth mentioning that these new entries just show up if you upload
 files with these mime types.

 FWIW, I could not reproduce this part. In my testing, the Documents group
 shows up even if there are no documents uploaded yet. I also haven't found
 any code for displaying the list items conditionally based on previously
 uploaded files. Still, I think it should be fine to proceed with
 [attachment:"38195.3.diff"].
