retries/frequency is probably the only reasonable way to do it.

A hack would include setting up an email address that throws away mail
(i.e. bitbucket).

Group "two" {
 sendnotify: yes
 notify: bitbucket at example.com
 renotify: 0
 escalate: 60 mail:andy at example.com
 [...]
}

I havent tested the "renotify: 0" -- if it doesnt work, do renotify:
3600 and argus will just send out two notices that will be thrown away.

Then you'll get your escalation notice at 60 minutes.
