From the github contributors list I noticed that on selecting a range between 2009-2010 I can see few developers https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors?from=2009-08-30&to=2010-12-31&type=c and https://github.com/non-github-bitcoin (an account created for commits before the bitcoin-core code was probably migrated to github from sourceforge)

1) Satoshi Nakamoto
2) sirius-m (Martti Malmi)
3) laszloh - based on some commits made here https://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/code/252/log/?path= (go to older and you'll find them all here) https://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/code/123/
4) Gavin Andresen

Leaving this video here for fun too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjYbsq3FXfM (It shows a visualization from 2008 - 2018 all the developers involved based on commits made)
I know this about Gavin Andersen but there are questions about satoshi  nakamoto,I always wondered whether it's just names or their real face,what do you think about this? In my opinion creators were trying to hide their real names because of legal issues,as we know there are a lot of bitcoin opponents and all of them are trying to make a legal dispute against bitcoin,So it would be more clever desicion to hide their real faces and that's what happens but its really interesting whose names are these
