I have not seen any new rules via sa-update for a long time. Looking at the

Rule updates are supposed to be generated daily, but it hasn't happened
since 2012-02-25 due to insufficient masscheck corpora, which is partially
due to a security bug which is preventing new masscheck contributors (bug
6694, but you can't see it due to being a security bug).
It's enough of a problem that an alert about it is automatically posted to
this list every day.
It's my opinion that it should not be considered a bug and new masscheck
accounts should be created.
You could sign up for a masscheck account for when they start being created
again if you want to contribute:

Once I get past a few of the hurdles I have in getting my chair work
caught up, approving masscheck is a definite goal. I think Warren's
worry is legitimate but I think we have to choose candidates well and
move forward.
