Q: What must I do the get an automatic notification to a group of people about a new Issue?
A: You'd edit the notification scheme associated with the project, and add a group to be notified on the 'Issue Created' event.
Q: How rich are my possibilities to fine tune that? (e.g. only send notification to group when issue is added to particular component, different group for different component... etc.)
A: There isn't any granularity beyond which project the issue is created in. Comment and vote at http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-3791.
