Does anyone contribute to AOSP besides Google? Does Google actually accept any patches into "upstream" and ultimately into their own commercial distro?

  quite a few manufacturers do, specifically in the automotive sphere and ofc samsung etc.
  in terms of accepting, unless it's stuff like bugfixes to core mechanisms, not really.
