Great PR overall! Just two comments for your consideration.

self.user_helplist = idleConf.GetAllExtraHelpSourcesList()

IMO this method should also be setting self.user_helplist = idleConf.GetAllExtraHelpSourcesList() rather than assuming it is set elsewhere before it is called.

Additional help sources may be added here with the Configure IDLE dialog under
the General tab. See the :ref:`Help sources <help-sources>` subsection below

IMHO giving more details here is counter-productive. That the menu items must be unique and sorted are rather minor, technical details. And I find this sentence to be stating the obvious: "The allowed file types may depend on the system." As for checking things when submitted, users will discover that themselves when using the feature, and I'm really not sure documenting it here is valuable.
