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
rid of various functionality (e.g. the byte interpreter).
Kevin M. Rosenberg:
- He provided the ACL-style toplevel.
+ 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-SUBFEATURES*), 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.
+ improvements in the compiler's type system, has essentially
+ completed the work to enable 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
