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):

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