2. user, who added new post is getting e-mail about that, but this isn't very useful unless for spamming purposes
3. users who participated in discussion (added posts to the topic in past) aren't notified about changes made to the topic

Solution

2. notify all participants in the discussion (except user have added a post)
3. enable notifications for all existing topics in upgrade script
4. subscribe (via kSubscriptionManager class) users to every topic where they have added new posts (only if they aren't these topic owners) in upgrade script
