I'd say it depends on the use case. In some instances a comment is
submitted to intrigue other readers, while in another scenario the
commenter could be asking a question that could warrant a quick reply. I
think flexibility is the answer here, let the admin decide how often to
be notified. The email to other commenter seems more of a guess to me,
but I'd think daily/immediately would be my default method. It's safer
to have more timely notifications than letting them get stale. This also
helps the admin appear truly engaged with users.
