A cleanup is needed. One dev-docs folder is enough now :) 
We also have the help/ folder which is plaintext since it can be invoked with 
./gradlew helpXXX. Someone should decide what goes in help/ vs dev-docs/

Asciidoc is more capable than MD, and renders well in GitHub as well: 
https://github.com/apache/lucene/blob/main/dev-docs/pmc-chair.adoc
I think there may be some future idea to compile dev-docs into some dev guide 
online, if so, adoc will make it much easier to cross-link, add images, tables  
etc.
