My people to follow are Daniel Mendler (github.com/minad; author of vertico, consult, marginalia, corfu, tempel…) and Protesilaos Stavrou (modus-themes, denote) but that's in part due to the fact that the development of these packages specifically impacts my work directly. There is a ton of other stuff happening in other packages. Some off the top of my head are org-roam, the magit ecosystem, lsp-related stuff. Nicolas P. Rougier has some insanely beautiful Emacs packages as well.
