Sean Hallgren is credited with most of the Alpha backend. Julian

+Dolby created the CMU CL Alpha/Linux port. Douglas Crosher added
complex-float support.
The original PPC backend was the work of Gary Byers. Some bug fixes
for SBCL (as well as for free Common Lisp in general) through
his CLiki website.
+Robert E. Brown:
+ He has reported various bugs and submitted several patches,
+ especially improving removing gratuitous efficiencies in the
+ standard library.
+
Cadabra, Inc. (later merged into GoTo.com):
They hired Bill Newman to do some consulting for them,
including the implementation of EQUALP hash tables for CMU CL;
and elsewhere reflect systematic public-spiritedness, fixing bugs
as they show up in sbcl-devel or as archived in the BUGS file.
+Paul Dietz
+ He is in the process of writing a comprehensive test suite for the
+ requirements of the ANSI Common Lisp standard. Already, at the
+ halfway stage, it has caught many tens of bugs in SBCL, and provided
+ simple test cases for them.
+
Nathan Froyd:
He has fixed various bugs, and also done a lot of internal
cleanup, not visible at the user level but important for
maintenance. (E.g. converting the PCL code to use LOOP instead
of the old weird pre-ANSI ITERATE macro so that the code can be
- read without being an expert in ancient languages and so that
- can delete a thousand lines of implement-ITERATE macrology.)

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.
+
+Frederik Kuivinen:
+ He showed how to implement the DEBUG-RETURN functionality.
+
Arthur Lemmens:
He found and fixed a number of SBCL bugs while partially porting
- SBCL to bootstrap under <some other Common Lisp system -- LispWorks
- for Windows? -- which could probably be found in the sbcl-devel
- archives>.
+ SBCL to bootstrap under Lispworks for Windows
Robert MacLachlan:
He has continued to answer questions about, and contribute fixes to,
patched code to SBCL to enable dynamic loading of object files
under OpenBSD.
+Eric Marsden:
+ Some of his fixes to CMU CL since the SBCL fork have been ported
+ to SBCL.
+
+Antonio Martinez-Shotton:
+ He has contributed a number of bug fixes and bug reports to SBCL.
+
Dave McDonald:
He made a lot of progress toward getting SBCL to be bootstrappable
under CLISP.
+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
+ particular note is his ctor MAKE-INSTANCE optimization, which is both
+ faster in the typical case than the old optimizations in PCL and
+ less buggy.
+
William ("Bill") Newman:
He continued to maintain SBCL after the fork, increasing ANSI
compliance, fixing bugs, regularizing the internals of the
updating documentation, and even, for better or worse, getting
rid of various functionality (e.g. the byte interpreter).
+Kevin M. Rosenberg:
+ He provided the ACL-style toplevel, and a number of MOP-related bug
+ reports.
+
Christophe Rhodes:
He ported SBCL to SPARC, made various port-related and SPARC-related
- changes (like *BACKEND-FEATURES*, made many fixes and improvements
- in the compiler's type system, has done a substantial amount of work
- on bootstrapping SBCL under unrelated (non-SBCL, non-CMU-CL) Common
- Lisps, and contributed in other ways as well.

Stig Erik Sandoe:
He showed how to convince the GNU toolchain to build SBCL in a way
of bug reports resulting from that, and submitted many other bug
reports as well.
+Valtteri Vuorikoski:
+ He ported SBCL to NetBSD, and also fixed a long-standing bug in
+ DEFSTRUCT with respect to colliding accessor names.
+
Colin Walters:
His O(N) implementation of the general case of MAP, posted on the
cmucl-imp@cons.org mailing list, was the inspiration for similar MAP
