Bug summary
Sphinx docs builds for third-party packages that have intersphinx cross-references to matplotlib are now failing with the following error message:
Unknown interpreted text role "mpltype".
This is because #27557 and Matplotlib 3.9.0 added the :mpltype:
custom role to the docs. Would you please provide some guidance for how packages that depend on Matplotlib should be building their sphinx docs?
