The source code is the documentation here. There are lots of docstrings and comments scattered throughout. django/contrib/admin/sites.py is the main entry point for registration. A large portion of the heavy lifting is in django/contrib/admin/options.py (e.g. the ModelAdmin class). We tend to avoid writing anything much more than that at the moment, since it would predominantly be repeating the code in English (duplication) and there are lots of other higher-impact places where we can be spending our time. However, instead of thinking you'll have to replace the whole thing, certainly look at customisations you might be able to make. All of the things you described in your initial paragraph can be done *without* any customisations (admin permissions and admin already requires authentication), for example.
