Did you try this suggestion from the manual?

,----[ (info "(gnus)Subscription Methods") ]
| `gnus-subscribe-topics'
|      Put the groups into the topic that has a matching `subscribe' topic

|           "nnslashdot"

Finding and subscribing new newsgroups is done at startup or by using
the function `gnus-find-new-newsgroup'.  I wouldn't expect that
`gnus-check-new-newsgroups' makes any sense in context of specific
groups or topics.

Like the one above?

,----[ C-h f rs-info-boxquote RET ]
| rs-info-boxquote is an interactive Lisp function in `rs-info'.
| (rs-info-boxquote &optional USE-LIST)
| 
| Yank text (from an info node), box it and use current info node as title.
| If USE-LIST, the title is taken from `rs-info-title-alist'
| depending on the current newsgroup.
