The OSG Ref Man v2.2 contains an environment variable reference that documents the Optimizer flags (see the OSG_OPTIMIZER env var).
Documentation is just like software and can easily be developed/written if sufficient funding is available. If you or your company would like to see better documentation for OpenSceneGraph, I'd be glad to present you with a proposal and bid. Let me know.
