The plugin API itself is really really simple. Basically Dovecot just calls plugin_name_init() and you'll go on from there. What would you want your plugin to do? Probably what you need is lib-storage API docs. There are a couple of hooks that only plugins use, but those still belong to lib-storage API category I think.
