I don't see much of code but there are a number of people with a 
background in Academics one way or the other, contributing. Usually, on 
their own.

They have salaries too even if they aren't commercial orgs,

Seth Vidal used to work as a sys admin in Duke and wrote yum to help 
automate more of his work. I don't know if I would consider that a Duke 
contribution necessarily but Duke has helped out in a number of other 
substantial ways. Hardware and bandwidth for some of the Fedora 
infrastructure systems for quite sometime for instance.
