There are lots of documentation in the docs/ directory, including general
development tips, contribution guidelines and something more specifically on
adding a new protocol, but I don't think there's something exactly on that.
What I would do is just search for a particular option in the code (--etag-save
is probably a good one because there shouldn't be many false positives) and
following the trail starting with what you find.

I suggest bringing up a proposal to this list (or the curl tool list) to get some
feedback before spending too much time developing it if your goal is to push it
upstream. I personally think WARC a good idea but it would be a shame if after
finishing it you found pushback because it's not a good fit for the curl tool,
or were asked for major design changes because of reasons (like we'd prefer
WACZ instead, for example).
