It does not.

Who would the subscribers be? All members of the site?
That might make sense depending on the expectations of members.
There is no routine to get a list of all the members, but it would
not be hard to write. Call it after the 'article' is created
in add-lib.pl.
If a forum is added as a subforum of another, it would make
sense to use the subscribers of the other forum. You could use
the buildList routine in subscribe-lib to build the list given the
path of the other forum.
You could just add a first message to the forum that announces
its existence, after subscribing all the people who should
be notified. That's usually what I do because certainly not
all the members of my site want to be notified.
