Matthias Hoelzl:
He reported and fixed COMPILE's misbehavior on macros.
He made a lot of progress toward getting SBCL to be bootstrappable
under CLISP.
+Perry E. Metzger:
+ He ported SBCL to NetBSD with newer signals, building on the

Gerd Moellman:
He has made many cleanups and improvements, small and large, in
CMU CL (mostly in PCL), which we have gratefully ported to SBCL. Of
He contributed to the port of SBCL to MacOS X, finding solutions for
ABI and assembly syntax differences between Darwin and Linux.
+Scott Parish:
+ He ported SBCL to OpenBSD-with-ELF.

Kevin M. Rosenberg:
He provided the ACL-style toplevel (sb-aclrepl contrib module), and
a number of MOP-related bug reports. He also creates the official
He showed how to convince the GNU toolchain to build SBCL in a way
which supports callbacks from C code into SBCL.
+Rudi Schlatte:
+ He ported Paul Foley's simple-streams implementation from cmucl,

Nikodemus Siivola:
He provided build fixes, in particular to tame the SunOS toolchain,
- and has fixed many (stream-related and other) bugs besides.

+ He provided several performance enhancements, including a better hash

He wrote Unicode-capable versions of SBCL's character, string, and
