devtools::document() is meant to be used within an R **package**, not

Try devtools::create() first.
But at any rate, roxygen format seems to answer your question about
how to describe the
specifications for a collection of functions written by different
people. Translation to .Rd
is not essential for this purpose.
I would say that separate Rd files would be preferable here. If Harold
writes the spec and puts it in Roxygen comments in a .R file, then
Michael writes the function to match the comments, Michael may
accidentally edit the Roxygen comments at the same time. It's more work
for Harold to notice that his spec has been changed than if it is in a
separate file.

Create a package, put it on github, and away you go.
