Indeed, http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/image/ knows about 
image/fits.

        * freedesktop.org.xml.in: Rename image/x-fits to image/fits
        (IANA-registered name), and add image/x-fits as alias
        * tests/list: Update testcase accordingly

However for you to benefit from this fix, a new shared-mime-info
release has to be made, which is not in my hands.
