Do they get some kind of real-time feed that tells them "hey this URL popped up in the web today, but it is a tracker, so block it", or is this exercise is mostly helped by the crowd ?

And here are uBlockOrigin's filterlist issue tracker: https://github.com/ublockorigin/uassets/issues

On the issue comment you can see maintainers @-ing each other to add things to upstream lists, so it's all one big community rather than being extension specific.
