Richard Sever and John Inglis for spearheading biorxiv, and Michael Eisen for the progressiveness of eLife. Just like how tax is silent theft of our money, the traditional publishing system is silent theft of our scientific time.

The infrastructural changes these people made, and are making, to science will improve the pace of science information dissemination, and subsequently therapeutic discoveries. This is a stepwise improvement to ALL of science, but because it’s fixing the backend of science, others often get more attention.

Eisen also spearheaded the PLOS journals prior to his eLife stint. I would add Paul Ginsparg to this list for the original arxiv.
