"Someone" is the shared-mime-info package, which shows that this is the now-standard \
mimetype on unix systems.

Those files are generated, but indeed freedesktop.org.xml could define text/rtf as an \
alias for application/rtf, for backwards compatibility. This should be requested on \
https://bugs.freedesktop.org in the shared-mime-info product, freedesktop.org.xml \
component.
