    • Michel-Louis Guérard des Lauriers is said to be the main intellectual force behind the study.

    Sources: see wikipedia Ottaviani Intervention.

    • Do you mean signed it, or wrote it?  

    I don't know the exact group who created it, other than Archbishop Lefebvre being the main driving force, and his having recruited Guérard des Lauriers to participate.   I think this is a passage from the book, Marcel Lefebvre:

    Quote
    THE SHORT CRITICAL STUDY OF THE NOM

    With the idea of presenting a petition to Pope Paul so that he might
    delay the introduction of the Novus Ordo Missae (planned for the end of
    November 1969) and see to its revision, Victoria Guerrini (who inspired
    Una Voce) met with Archbishop Lefebvre to whom she was well known.
    Her nom de plume was Cristina Campo, and together with her friend Emilia
    Pediconi, another lady of Roman society, she came to find the
    Archbishop.  Since they could call whenever they wanted upon Cardinal
    Ottaviani, they were able to act as go-betweens.  It was decided that a
    docuмent would be written to be passed on to the cardinal who agreed in
    advance to revise it and submit it to the Pope...

    As a bishop, Archbishop Lefebvre chaired the first meeting and some
    of the night-time gatherings which took place "at a punishing rhythm" on
    the premises of Una Voce in Rome between May and June 1969...

    The Italian text was sent to Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci.  Archbishop
    Lefebvre begged other friends amongst the cardinals to help, but although
    they read it they were afraid to sign it. The Archbishop also hoped
    to secure the signatures of numerous bishops among whom were sixty Italians.
    In the meanwhile, he had the text translated into French (Fr.
    Guerard), German (Elizabeth Gerstner), Spanish (Don Luigi Severini),
    and English (Professor Anderson).  He also arranged to have it published
    by various reviews and organizations friendly to Fortes in Fide after it had
    been sent to the Pope.

    ...Finally on September 13 after much insistence, Cardinal Ottaviani's
    approbation for the Short Critical Study was secured and he signed a letter
    addressed to Paul VI. Cardinal Bacci signed it in turn on September 28.
    As for who signed it, I thought in the end they basically got Cardinals Ottaviani & Bacci to sign it.  Others were lined up to do so but chickened out.

    • By some accounts, it sounds like there were about a dozen theologians on the committee that drafted the Ottaviani Intervention.  Although another account speaks of maybe about half that.  I found a few of the names:

    Archbishоp Marcel Lefebvre chaired the wоrking cоmmittee that drafted it.  Msgr. Rеnаtо Pоzzi (а mеmbеr оf thе Cоngrеgаtiоn fоr Cаthоlic Educаtiоn аnd fоrmеr pеritus аt thе Cоuncil), Msgr. Gеrrinо Milаni (likеwisе а mеmbеr оf thе Cоngrеgаtiоn fоr Cаthоlic Educаtiоn), Msgr. Dоmеnicо Cеlаdа (а rеnоwnеd liturgist), аnd а fеw оthеrs prеpаrеd а drаft.  
    Thе study wаs trаnslаtеd intо Frеnch by Fr. Guérаrd, intо Gеrmаn by Elisаbеth Gеrstnеr, intо Spаnish by Dоn Luigi Sеvеrini, аnd intо English by Prоf. Andеrsоn (undеr thе titlе Thе Ottаviаni Intеrvеntiоn).
