The "Preface to the 4.2 Berkeley distribution" which is printed at the
front of the manual set credits:
	Bill Shannon (DEC & Sun)
	Robert Elz (U of Melbourne)
	Rob Gurwitz (BBN)
	Eric Allman (Britton-Lee)
	Bill Croft (SRI & Sun)
	Dennis Ritchie (Bell Laboratories)
	Helge Skrivervik (no affliation)
		and of course
	"numerous others".

That acknowledgement is signed by (note the order):
	Sam Leffler
	Bill Joy
	Kirk McKusick

There are others who are credited with earlier 4bsd releases.

(Yes, some of the people on the above list do get annoyed when
Bill Joy is credited with developing 4.2bsd UNIX and no one else is mentioned)
