Would it be possible to make the drivedb an external file with a standard format that is loaded at runtime? Then it could be published at some canonical url and you could download a new version to use with your existing version of smartmontools. Then you could provide a tool to update the local copy of the drivedb. There are a few other similar tools that do this:

lspci / update-pciids lsusb / update-usbids

You could follow their examples for file locations and utility behavior, hopefully it wouldn't be too hard.

Thanks,
