It does offer a setting to "Submit information about streams to the server", which is enabled by default. "Submits urls of stations unknown to streamWriter to the streamWriter-server so that it gets listed in the streambrowser for you and other users." https://streamwriter.org/en/wiki/artikel/settings The program does offer 36,333 radio streams. I think the best way to keep up with all the radio stations available is to download the current RadioSure database file from http://rb2rs.freemyip.com/. It's updated daily. Even if you don't use RadioSure, you can use a text editor to see all the names and URL streams of each radio station. If the layout of that file is confusing, the information for that file comes from https://www.radio-browser.info/. You can use their Search field to find streams to listen to.
