Cyclic, or at least the domain name was then purchased by OpenAvenue 
from SourceGear, and then OpenAvenue turned it into cvshome.org and sold 
it again to CollabNet, who now owns the domain.  cyclic.com still points 
at cvshome.org in the DNS.

Jim did a lot of the client/server work while he was at Cygnus, as I 
understand it.

:)

Though you do neglect to mention a lot of other maintainers and 
developers who deserve credit.  I think I will leave it to the 
ChangeLogs rather than trying to list all of them, though.
