Matthias Hoelzl:
He reported and fixed COMPILE's misbehavior on macros.
Espen S Johnsen:
He provided an ANSI-compliant version of CHANGE-CLASS for PCL.
+Teemu Kalvas:
+ He worked on Unicode support for SBCL, including parsing the Unicode

+
Frederik Kuivinen:
He showed how to implement the DEBUG-RETURN functionality.
Some of his fixes to CMU CL since the SBCL fork have been ported
to SBCL. He also maintains the cl-benchmark package, which gives
us some idea of how our performance changes compared to earlier

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
