I suppose https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/foundation-l/?VARHELP=contentfilter/pass_mime_types
resp. https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/admin/foundation-l/?VARHELP=contentfilter/pass_filename_extensions
could be thus altered, but I'm hesitant to do it myself, as I don't
know which file types constitute a threat (macros?) and which not,
I'll defer to the experts...
