But who would do that? Do you have security expertise and are volunteering to do that?

    Exactly. Let's also not forget it isn't just a matter of inspecting it once, it would be for EVERY update of the script. It would be a major bottleneck to get updates out for any package. There are comments on the AUR site where people can flag issues, so we do have some crowd sourcing, but I'd still not trust it.
