I have released the first version of the mantis_pager script. It is being used to scan for new bugs that remain un-changed for for X of hours. It will then send a notice to the assigned person on regular intervals (currently 4 hours). It also escalates by contacting other assigned project members based on user privilege level.
Please note, this is an extremely ugly version of the code. It was designed for a single, specific customer and is not ready for general use. That being said, it could be useful to someone who wants to make changes, etc.
You can download it from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mantispager/
I hope to make some serious design changes and implement it as a Mantis add-on.
Enjoy.

Re: Mantis Pager
For those (any) of you who care... I've started putting some plans down on digital paper for mantis pager. Find it here:
http://www.ezas.net/mantispager/
I'm just getting the ball rolling on the rewrite, so don't get too excited
PS: If anyone on the Mantis dev. team has plans for something similar.. please let me know. I'd hate to waste my effort

Re: Mantis Pager
Great work! There was several requests for escalations in the past and I think there was a patch in the bug tracker. So far, I am not to excited about having escalation as part of the core. However, I can see a lot of value in MantisPager, specially that if done probably, it can have great focus on scheduling, rules, etc and delivery very good results for Mantis users. I would love to see this as a Mantis plugin, using the plugins infrastructure available in the Mantis 1.2.x (version under development, i.e. SVN trunk).

Re: Mantis Pager
Thanks for the encouragement
I have grand visions of doing the properly and well, so we'll see how things go.
