I also think it would be very nice if at least a short description of
the M17N input methods could be displayed when pressing the help
button in SCIM. 

But I have no idea how to do that. 

Maybe one could add a hint to read /usr/share/m17n/*.mim to scim-m17n,
that would already be better then nothing.

But to do more than that, I guess scim-m17n needs to ask the m17n
input method somehow for a help text, i.e. m17n input methods probably
need a function which returns a help text. Currently there seems to be
no such feature in m17n, but maybe that could be added?
