Description

PEP 12 is very helpful in writing PEPs and has a section on intersphinx. However, to know the available intersphinx mappings, one has to know where to look in the sphinx configuration.

I think it would be useful to include the list directly in PEP 12.

Alternatively, if that is considered to be at too high a risk for getting outdated, one could add an explanation on where to find it.

Start by locating PEP 12 and the Sphinx configuration referenced in the issue. Confirm where the intersphinx mappings are maintained, then update PEP 12 with the list or explain where readers can find it; done means the available mappings are discoverable without prior configuration knowledge.
