While @redhat/Cygnus names still dominates the MAINTAINERS file, they do 
not dominate development and review activity.  I'd put the following 
forward as the most active lead developers (in terms of patch review and 
development):

        AndrewC -- RH
        MarkK
        DanielJ
        ElenaZ -- RH
        EliZ

(With DavidC as the most notable contributor).

For what its worth, as senior GDB developer in Red Hat's "Cygnus" group 
(and GDB's Adminstrator), I was afforded a nominal amount of time (it 
didn't come close to volunteer time I contribute).  I've since (~aug 
'03) moved groups so I'm no longer in that "enviable" position (I 
actually recommended that the pratice be stopped).  Fortunately, because 
my current group's objectives (GNU/Linux, with a longer term 
prospective) are far better aligned with those of GDB, I'm actually in a 
better position.
