bugs.ghostscript.com had a temporary unexpected glitch and should
now be back up, sorry for the inconvenience.

> What is this “smart scrolling”?

When you are zoomed in on a page in the document, smart scroll
means that instead of advancing to the next page when you press
space, MuPDF will scroll to the parts of the page outside the
zoomed in area, stepping throught them all before advancing to the
next page. This ensures that you get to see the entire page before
advancing to the next one. This was developed for mupdf-gl and
then backported to mupdf-x11 to keep the UI of the two viewers
as similar as possible.

The differences between ./, and space/b should be documented.
I'll update the man pages.

MuPDF has never had any options to configure key bindings, and
I don't believe that Tor plans to add any at this time.

Pressing . or , lets you go to the previous/next pages without any
smart scrolling.
