For your immediate issue of getting stock and currency price updates to work, I
think you are currently better off using something other than this bug, either
the mailing list or discuss.kde.org are probably best.  As far as I can tell,
any currently working URL for yahoo uses v8 and not v7.  Perhaps kmymoney.org
can add a page showing the price update settings most recently known to work,
at least for yahoo and currencies.

For the larger picture, more could be done if there were more people doing it. 
I have been working on a complete update of the handbook, although it is
currently only accessible through git, and it does refer to versions built from
master branch, not 5.1.However, the hope is that version will be released for
general use in some months.  It will clearly take longer than anyone wants, and
there is no definite timeline yet.
In terms of releases, no, it is true that there has been no formal release in
far too long, but there are daily builds made available in several formats. 
Not all fixes are added to the 5.1 branch, but some are, and some of us do use
master branch for our daily work.

As for portfolio-performance or any other web site not seeming to have problems
getting updated stock and currency prices - I doubt very much any of them are
run by a completely volunteer staff.  As pointed out in Comment #28, the
problem for KMyMoney, which gets it's updates from those sites, they often
change the exact format of how they present the information, and almost any
change breaks our ability to extract the information from their web page.  That
is not a new problem, it has been happening as long as we have been getting
prices from those sites.
