Packages and Ebuilds which are still using the fdo-mime are listed here:

Packages:
https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/eclass-usage/fdo-mime.txt

Ebuilds sorted by Maintainer or Package
http://gentoo.levelnine.at/simplechecks/fdo-mime-check/

If you see your name in the list, you find a list of your packages with
inherit fdo-mime.

Thanks to Michael. For his script.
