In the early days I think there were three or four, one of whom was Dick Hustvedt who I had the pleasure of meeting in 1983 in New Zealand. Later, there were larger numbers of "architects" such as Keith Walls who was the Backup architect for a while (Keith and I go back a long way). You can find out who the real architects/coders for VMS are/were by looking into the source code (take the scheduler for example, the core of which hasn't changed since VMS v0.xx...)
