sa-update not updating since March 30.

We have a cron job that runs every day to update the spamassassin rules, but
there have been no new updates since March 30.

When I run it manually with the -D (debug) flag, I get this output:

Correct.  updates_spamassassin_org has not been updated since March 30.
I have seen updates on 90_sare_freemail_cf_sare_sa-update_dostech_net
(May 11), 90_2tld_cf_sare_sa-update_dostech_net (May 24th), and
sought_rules_yerp_org (today).

Read up in the SA wiki on how to become a committer. You need that level 
of access to submit rules for consideration even if you're not going to be 
hacking the SA code itself. Barring that, posting rules to the users list 
for discussion may lead to them being adopted into the base rules.

I'm in the process of becoming a committer for this reason myself. One 
thing I intend to do is get some newer rules into the 3.2 tree, as the 
"real" devs are focusing on 3.3

Ah. That certainly explains why we're getting massive amounts of spam.

How would I go about contributing to that end?

That's because there haven't been any updates recently. There's no firm 
schedule for releases of updates.
