Question Escalation

Question escalation is a feature which, when enabled, escalates unsolved questions to a specified list of users by sending a notification to them. Question are escalated when they were published after a configurable start date and have gotten no response within a configurable amount of time after publication. By default, questions are only escalated when they have received neither comments nor solutions. It can be configured to escalate all questions without solution, ignoring any comments that might exist. By default, all questions that fulfill the above conditions will be escalated. It can be configured that only the first question a user poses gets escalated.
