There may be a programmatic way to find these via shell32's SHGetKnownFolder() API, but I spent some time with it this afternoon and it was not as comprehensive as your list above, for many GUIDs in your list it returns 0, perhaps they are deprecated now, but were active at one point.
I'll refactor my gist to include your list, but folks may want to consider it non-authoritative. I'm not saying it's not accurate, I'm just unable to verify it against any publicly available sources from Microsoft.
mine are collected from msdn posts, metz's stuff, regripper, and a few other places i found things. its been solid so far for ShellBags Explorer. my validation of what its come up with conversion wise has been accurate so far.
