Description
We have https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/api.wordpress.org/public_html/core/credits/wp-47.php#L563 but that's a pretty bad place to send people.
We should list this somewhere, either on wordpress.org/about (somewhere...) or in the developer pages, as developers need to have a way to FIND this easily if we want them to stop including what we have already :)

The canonical source used to be the list on the wp_enqueue_script()
page in the Codex and now on DevHub, but I don't think it's been maintained. I agree that it should probably be its own page and not hidden in a function reference.

The enqueue list is great for Javascript libraries, but not for things like PHPMailer etc. We need to list both :)
Can't expect people to magically know things!

We have https://wordpress.org/download/source/, which seems appropriate for this.
Currently, it links to https://code.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordpress-sources (introduced in code:134), which is no longer maintained.
Most of the JS libraries are listed on https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/including-css-javascript/#default-scripts-included-and-registered-by-wordpress.
