No, auto-reporting is*bad*. Masschecks are done on human-verified ham and

rules are tuned to classify more things that look like that as spam, you end
up with a cascade of FPs. Masschecks try to break that cycle by using
humans.
Also, ham is just a valuable (perhaps more so) as spam.
But centralized concepts are good. One of the reasons ruleqa is not
just masschecks is that it really encompasses everything we do for
rules. We need to expand on data users can provide to continue
improving rules.
