We have had people doing that, yes. Do WE do it? No. ("WE" == Me,
actually, it's a one-man-show). It's basically a "voluntary
submission" basis. There are some folks who simply submit what they
find in their daily travels, and there are some who actively "patrol"
looking for domains/IP-networks to submit.

Depends on your definition of doing something about it. Use of the
RFCI zonefiles for tagging/blocking seems to be on the increase,
which means that even if the "submission" process is sporadic
volunteers catching them as they come across them, the effect is "you
get blocked, eventually said blockage annoys you enough to fix it,
and then you do so". I'd call that doing something about it.
