From HTTP/2 FAQ's:

Who made HTTP/2?

HTTP/2 was developed by the IETF’s HTTP Working Group, which maintains the HTTP protocol. It’s made up of a number of HTTP implementers, users, network operators and HTTP experts.

Note that while our mailing list is hosted on the W3C site, this is not a W3C effort. Tim Berners-Lee and the W3C TAG are kept up-to-date with the WG’s progress, however.

A large number of people have contributed to the effort, but the most active participants include engineers from “big” projects like Firefox, Chrome, Twitter, Microsoft’s HTTP stack, Curl and Akamai, as well as a number of HTTP implementers in languages like Python, Ruby and NodeJS.

To learn more about participating in the IETF, see the Tao of the IETF; you can also get a sense of who’s contributing to the specification on Github’s contributor graph, and who’s implementing on our implementation list.
