And that's why they bounce SpamCop reports to their listed abuse.net address ?
I don't know that that means anything. Spamcop hasn't historically had a reputation for being accurate, although they might have improved recently.
The quality of SpamCop reports is dependent on the quality of what users report, plus internal processing SpamCop does to reduce the noise and errors in those reports.
The quality of contact information SpamCop has to report spams to is dependent on source like abuse.net and whatever other contacts they can determine for themselves or with external help.
In the specific case of SpamCop's contact information for Yahoo, it currently appears out of date or incorrect, but Yahoo has provided new information to SpamCop. I know this because I was involved in bringing the parties together. The new contact info is private and will not be visible to SpamCop users or the public, but when it's in place the reports will get through and hopefully be acted upon.
