[New-bugs-announce] [issue42205] Add image/webp to list of non-standard mimetypes

[waicalibre]

New submission from waicalibre <waicailbre_aayx at protonmail.com>:

WebP is an open-source image format that isn't included in Python's mimetypes. It hasn't been added because it has no IANA registration: https://bugs.python.org/issue38902

In mimetypes.py there is a list of common but non-standard media types that only match if strict=0 flag is given to the API methods. If WebP isn't going to be added to the big standard list, it could be added to the non-standard list.
