Mentions (often known as @mentions) are a useful way of drawing someone's attention to a issue or a comment.
When you mention a user, they'll receive a notification by email.

You could also reassign a issue to a colleague for consultation, but that’s a fairly heavyweight operation to just ask a question.
By using @mentions, you can quickly direct conversation in comments to get needed feedback and keep you moving forward.
That way the issue always stays assigned to you and on your radar.

The following users can being mentioned in Jira:

...

Searching for flagged issues

The flag for an issue is stored in a custom checkbox field named "Flagged", which has only one value: Impediment.

This means that you can use this JQL query to find flagged issues: Flagged = Impediment
