should I assume that RuleQA works with different corpus than masscheck?
The following is my understanding absent having ever done a deep dive
through the scoring code...
Nope. masscheck runs the current ruleset against the contributors' ham and
spam corpora and records which rules hit which message. The results are
uploaded to the RuleQA host where those results are analysed and scores
are generated.
They are different phases in the same process, and we're pretty loose
about using the terms interchangably to refer to the entire thing.

It is worth noting that the 72_scores.cf file is what the RuleQA

50_scores.cf should be generated by mass-checking, where H2 generated
no score (why?)
Bill was correct. 72_scores.cf is generated by the masscheck/ruleqa
process. The masscheck/ruleqa process does not evaluate or generate scores
for all rules, though.
50_scores.cf is fixed scores set either manually or (historically) from a
different analysis process that is run *very* infrequently. It is not
generated from the masscheck/ruleqa process.
There is no score for RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2 in 50_scores.cf. There are scores
for the other MSPIKE rules there and the ones appearing there do NOT
appear in 72_scores.cf so it looks like they are not being evaluated for
scoring. The score for _H2 was apparently accidentally removed by this
commit:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/spamassassin/trunk/rules/50_scores.cf?r1=1213550&r2=1213551&diff_format=h
I've added a score for RCVD_IN_MSPIKE_H2 back into 50_scores.cf to see
whether that affects things. It looks like that is the only MSPIKE rule
that masscheck is generating scores for and I can't really see why apart
from it not appearing in 50_scores.cf, and at the moment I don't want to
go spelunking in the code to verify that's the override...
