It does not make sense to look for derivations within derivations,
not even when `recurseForDerivations` is true. Nix does not do that either:

@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.
- Update to the latest version.
- Stop using unstable `fetchurl` for GitHub archive reference #32997.
- Take maintainership as requested by jb55 in #86265.
Following nh2's advice, I want to be more involved in nixpkgs,
and I'll start to review changes to programs that are important to me,
and that didn't have a long list of maintainers yet.
All these IDs were carefully obtained with
- If possible, look at which commit introduced the maintainer and check
with the GitHub API whether it was the person we think it should be.
If yes, that's great
- If above doesn't work for any reason (which was the case for about
half), then I went through the commit log and through GitHub PRs
manually, to see who the person is
Sometimes this required trying to find a commit after the svn-era, but
before the committer stopped contributing. Sometimes when one person
adds two maintainers this required checking that they are known to each
other through bidirectional GitHub follows.

This commit:
- Moves the update script into the dir, out of the maintainers dir. This makes
it more discoverable in general. It can also be invoked from anywhere to write
to default.nix
- Swaps it to use the standardized `passthru.updateScript`. This means that
eventually bots like `nixpkgs-update` will be able to handle it.
- Runs the script to upgrade to the latest versions
