The Valgrind Developers
The Valgrind developers are a loose-knit group of people from

free to send praise, abuse, ideas, etc, to them.
If you want to become a valgrind developer, then the first
thing you should do is join the

Cerion worked on PowerPC instruction set support
using the Vex dynamic-translation framework.
Christian Borntraeger

Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Jeremy wrote the original Helgrind and totally overhauled low-level
syscall/signal and address space layout stuff, among many other
improvements.
Paul Floyd
Paul maintains the FreeBSD and illumos ports and generally tries to
deal with issues related to threading, C++, ELF reading and the Darwin port.

for more recent Linux/glibc versions.
Petar Jovanovic and Dejan Jevtic
Petar and Dejan wrote and maintain the mips32-linux port.

Florian developed and maintains the s390/Linux port. He
also improved the regression test system and does bugfixing and
static analysis of the code base.
Maynard Johnson and Carl Love
Maynard and Carl contributed IBM Power6 and Power7
support.
Paul Mackerras
Paul did a lot of the initial per-architecture factoring that
forms the basis of the 3.0 line and is also to be seen in 2.4.0.
He also did UCode-based dynamic translation support for PowerPC,
and created a set of ppc-linux derivatives of the 2.X release
line.
Dirk Mueller
dmuell@gmx.net
Dirk contributed the malloc-free mismatch checking stuff and
various other bits and pieces, and acted as our KDE liaison.
Nicholas Nethercote
Nick did the core/tool generalisation, wrote Cachegrind
and Massif, and tons of other stuff.
Petr Pavlu
Petr is the initial author of the Solaris/illumos port on x86 and amd64, that he and Ivo contributed.
Ivo Raisr
Ivo worked on and maintains the Solaris port.
Julian Seward
Julian was the original designer and author of Valgrind,
created the dynamic translation frameworks, wrote Memcheck,
Helgrind and SGCheck, and did lots of other things.
Bart Van Assche
Bart is the author of Drd, a tool for finding bugs in
threaded programs, that first shipped in the 3.3.0 release.
Robert Walsh
Robert added file descriptor leakage checking, new library interception
machinery, support for client allocation pools, and minor other
tweakage.
Philippe Waroquiers
Philippe wrote and maintains the embedded GDB server. He
also made a bunch of performance, memory-use and correctness
fixes across diverse parts of the system.
Mark Wielaard
Mark fixed a bunch of bugs and acts as our Fedora/RHEL liaison.
Josef Weidendorfer
Josef wrote and maintains Callgrind.
Frederic Gobry helped with autoconf and automake. Daniel Berlin modified
readelf's dwarf2 source line reader, written by Nick Clifton, for use
in Valgrind. Michael Matz and Simon Hausmann modified the GNU binutils
demangler(s) for use in Valgrind. And lots and lots of other people sent
bug reports, patches, and very helpful feedback.
