Simply put, there is none yet. GEGL-based GIMP plug-ins are a novelty,
and as a small team we don't have the manpower to update dev
documentation all that often.

What you can do is:

1) study what changes have been applied to the plug-ins that we ported
to use GeglBuffer, e.g.
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/commit/plug-ins/common?id=07107fe214feaebf42dfa129fa3681c1e7b9bfd8
2) ask us questions on IRC.
