The drawback I see to it is that there's a decent chance people are probably going to get the menu popped up on them multiple times, as players are pretty used to typing "votewhatever" to opt-in. The sm_playersvotes_interval timeout will probably help protect against that, but it might be somewhat confusing to people that are expecting Mani-like behavior. What do you think?

That would be pretty awesome. I see what you're saying about a lot of people being locked out of votes because of that interval. How about having a CVar to change the behavior of votemap altogether? I would agree with needing interval limits on votemute, votekick and voteban, but I feel like votemap is/should be part of a different group.
I like the way vote(kick/ban/mute) works because that's not something everyone needs to be presented with and forced to make a choice on. They can join in on the vote if they agree with the one who started the vote. Votemap, however, is something every person on the server should have a say in. What about separate intervals, one for the kick, ban, or mute and a different one to control when players can initiate a votemap. I think each player
should be presented with an option when someone else initiates a votemap. I really like the way Players Votes works, but, like I said, I
love the "rockthevote" style of presented map voting and changing.
EDIT: Or, what about just letting people have the ability to participate in a votemap even if they recently initiated a failed votemap. They just can't initiate another votemap for, say, 5 minutes. But I still think it should at least have the capability of once a votemap is started, each player can choose to close it and not participate, extend the map, or pick a new one instead of having to type votemap to participate.
