It would look like this:

You are going to have to create this by yourself.

bbPress comprises of custom post types, so you should be able to use post_meta.

Here is a good example of using custom post meta with bbPress.

There are some bbPress support forum plugins that you may need to look into that may add something similar of the features you want.

You can create a custom topic form input for the users to explain why this is important, a topic status that indicates where the topic is at and indicate by color, resolution deadline could be time it was closed.

There is also many hooks that might be helpful.
