yes, especially when both galileo and helios epp jobs are running :)

the exact property on the job's config page is " Abort the build if it's 
stuck " and you can set a timeout (minutes based).

Don't know either, but good practice should be to always have a contact 
in the config's page ( in the notification property) so that people that 
can access to it can use that contact.
