Problem

In documentation I am writing for another package, I want to link to the top-level matplotlib docs using intersphinx. I think the way to do this is for package names is to use the :mod: role. For numpy and scipy, this works because they define, e.g., .. module:: numpy on their main documentation page.

Suggested Improvement

Add .. module:: matplotlib to the main docs/index.rst file for matplotlib.

Matplotlib version

• Operating system: Mac OS X 10.15.7
• Matplotlib version: latest main branch
• Matplotlib documentation version: latest main branch
