Should Remarkbox email the Namespace owners when they get a new comment (or weekly digest)?

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.
