developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
"extract" script for extraction. Many cases where a custom EXTRACT_CMD
simply copied the distfile into the work directory are no longer

tar behind a common command-line interface, so we no longer need code
that's conditional on whether EXTRACT_USING is tar or pax.

makeself is a (very small) shell script that makes neat
self-extracting shell scripts, and allows you to specify a "setup"
command to execute upon finishing. This is in a similar concept to
Windows winzip self-extracting archives.
Noticed in the FreeBSD ports collection.
