Well I pkgstats may compliment votes, but they really are different
stats. Pkgstats include lots of packages that are not included in the
AUR, and probably some that exist in other 3rd party repos.

I think it's appropriate that pkgstats has its own home.

I'm not exactly sure how you would want to incorporate them into the
AUR. Discussion is always welcome though, so don't be afraid to share
your ideas. Cheers.
