I actually contributed to several D&D classes that became AD&D character classes during that rewrite - guess that dates me. I've still got my original, hand-typed letters that went to Gygax for Martial Artists, Ninjas, Samurai and others. A couple of things got published in some early Dragon magazines. By the time it went to hardcover print, there were enough changes that they didn't credit me for anything - not a big deal. By that time I had started to get away from RPG anyway. I still have all my books and a few figurines just for old times sake.
