Maybe instead of voting, the AUR should track number of downloads, or
page hits ... something more automatic.

Well, if it's not being voted up the list and into [community] there
can't be a huge need for it. Although if people are using it from the
AUR without voting then that's a problem too. I'm running a sustained
campaign to get more people voting in the AUR
Quoting me:
"There are over 1000 pkgs in the AUR (yes that is 1000) and
approximately 900 of them have less than 5 votes! I accept that many
of the pkgs in the AUR are not universally popular or even useful but
please remeber to vote for those that you actually use because I know
for a fact that many of you don't!"
Either way it has little to do with the dev or AUR team and is
therefore the responsibility of the wider [community]. The facilities
are there for packages such as these to be added to [current] and
[extra], and if these processes are not being utilized then that's a
shame.
Of course, bringing it up on the mailing list or the forum is a good
way to get some extra votes for it :) And, of course, a dev may
immediately agree with you and seize on the opportunity to add
smartmontools to the main repos ;)

there have been a view PKGBUILDs for smartmontools in AUR, it doesn't
help...
