Daniel means (I think) that we could use
MASTER_SITES=https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy/releases/tag/${PORTVERSION}/. 
In this case, we _will_ need to change PORTVERSION to DISTVERSION.  USE_GITHUB
& GH_* can be removed, too.

Why to use a release tarball (feel free to ignore this if you already
understand why)...

Upstream generated an actual release tarball (often by building some sort of
'dist' target).  The release tarball can be different than just the tarball of
the tagged source.  For instance, it may have pre-generated documentation files
so you don't have to pull in big documentation processing package dependencies
and run tools to build/install docs.  That's one reason (of various other
reasons) to prefer an actual release tarball.  On the other hand, if a release
tarball is gigantic and full of unnecessary / undesired pieces, one might
prefer just the tarball of the tagged source.
