If it's something open that will somehow be "consumed" by your plugin, the x- subtype is probably a good idea since it's the recommendation for non-standard formats. The vnd subtype is typically for proprietary stuff.

In my case it's build system project file. Looking at plugins in main tree, I've found that QMake project is declared as "application/vnd..." and CMake project as "text/x-cmake". Also it seems like IETF is deprecating "x-" [1], so I'm in doubt.
