Yes. The definitive source for RPi hardware documentation is the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Foundation updated their published documentation to include programmable GPIO current limits recently (Jan, 2019), and the latest "official documentation" of the GPIO docs can be found here.

In general, The Foundation's "official documentation" is published in the following locations:

The Foundation has also referenced some documents published by Broadcom as part of their official documentation. Specifically with respect to the GPIO, you may wish to consult this document beginning on p. 89.

EDIT/UPDATE, 2021-06-09:

The "Official Documentation" on the RPi GPIO is written for the BCM2835 - the Broadcom processor used in Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero. The Foundation has not yet updated this GPIO documentation for the RPi 2, 3 or 4. This may mean the BCM2835 GPIO documents remain valid - or it may not. The CM4 documentation addresses the BCM2711 (the RPi 4b SoC), and covers some of the details in the "Official GPIO Documentation", but not all. You can follow this question if you're interested.
