Matt, the history given in the article is mostly based on a email interview of me by Simson. So consequently, it reflects mostly the stuff I've been aware of since Justing included spamc/spamd in the distribution, and even more so the stuff we've been working on since Justin went off backpacking in February (or whenever it was -- time flies!). I did try to mention some of the more recent features/improvements which have made their way into SA, and pointed Simson at a few other people to talk to for research purposes -- he certainly seems to have heeded my advice to talk to Vipul!
I imagine that the author wanted to keep the piece fairly focussed though, rather than reeling off a list of features/contributors -- though certainly the open-source community around this project is one of the key reasons for its ongoing success.
