While newly discovered releases can be added to existing softlists and it probably will be added as an entry, you have the ability to emulate such images just as easily as an external image.
MAME megadriv -cart (imagename)
You can also use the File Manager inside of MAME (after selecting the machine to use) to load the image from the location of your choosing.

the MD lists are definitely in need of attention (as are the SNES, SMS and some others for that matter)
There are quite a few older dumps still not added.
It would be nice if the community could contribute to be fair, creating a pull request for a Software List addition doesn't require programming skills really.

Yeah, I see that.
The group that released this one has a lot more that they put out this month. See Sonic Month.
Also, looking through info.sonicretro.org, I see MAME is missing a lot of prototypes. A few from Sonic 2 and I didn't even get into how many for Sonic CD, etc.
About the community contributing. I would be happy to but it's a steep learning curve for me as I know nothing about GIT and the procedures to manipulating the data. The other problem is that the MAME names and community names for some of these ROMs differ. So it is hard to tell what is what. Take Sonic 2 for example. SonicRetro has the "Nick Arcade" prototype listed as the oldest known version. MAME just has "sonic2p1" through "sonic2p8". Which one is the "Nick Arcade" prototype, which is the "Simon Wai" prototype, etc? Lots of data to comb through and understand. That is just for Sonic 2.
