No, it doesn't:
http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl100.html
... Since the Berne Convention prohibits formal requirements that
affect the exercise and enjoyment of the copyright, the United States
changed its law on March 1, 1989 to make the use of a copyright notice
optional.
IMO a patch containing a copyright notice is problematic because
it's no longer clear the author intends for it to be treated as
a typical contribution to the project.
