The best resource right now is http://developer.mozilla.org

Please don't reply to me off-list. In my opinion, yes, http://developer.mozilla.org is the best resource right now. I've heard complaints that it is lacking in Thunderbird information, however.
Anyway, the _ultimate_ documentation is, of course, the Thunderbird source code. You can find that here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/
Searching for GetDBView functions gets you this list of results:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/ident?i=GetDBView
This one looks interesting:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/messageWindow.js#1175
You should also try google. The first search result on google for "GetDBView" is this, which looks interesting, too:

Sorry, I hadn't realized this was one of the poorly configured ones that
defaults to "Reply to Sender" instead of "Reply to List".
