As your question is fairly general, this answer is too.

I'd insert the ETL process itself into the target database. As you have on-site developers this will have to be included in your extraction development. Best add a bit of architecture description and versioning as well to serve the level of understanding of your consumers.

When going after this I'd include a similar step in the actual extraction run process; even a straightforward run-date and field for comments can be worth gold when attempting to generate trends a year hence.
