And that's probably why you don't understand the concept. Its all about advancing pkgsrc.
Users don't have to test anything. But, if you happen to build a package, that by default fails on your particular system, it would be nice if you could upload your adjustments from the moment of a successful build.
You could submit your fixes here
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd, but someone will have to review and implement the changes (if accepted). It could be awhile before the changes result in a built binary package available via the NetBSD repository. If there was a publicly viewable archive, the fixes would be available to users before the availability of a repository package.
I can't blame you for avoiding pkgsrc. It is not always convenient, unless you are a mad man with an addiction to control over your system(s). Pkgin is very nice, also.
