All one and the same, including Johnson.
Long story, maybe someone else is interested in tracking down the series of posts that resulted in that appellation.

While Patrick is the BDFL, I don't think it's accurate to say he's the only person who works on Slackware development. There is a list of contributors somewhere, but I can't find it right now. Anyone? I know Robby Workman, Eric Hemeleers, and drmozes (don't remember his actual name), among others, are on that list.
The new Slackware blackbox package still bundles blackbox and bbkeys, which implies to install blackbox onto the file system before building bbkeys.
Personally I am not comfortable installing stuff in the process of package building, which additionally prevents to use fakeroot when running the SlackBuild, which some users prefer.
Maybe consider shipping bbkeys in a separate package instead?
With this, bbkeys seems to find its kittens back:
