The account used for domain management has nothing to do with the ones
used for deploying.

You can have a team working on dev.appspot.com, mapped to your dev
subdomain, another one completely different working to production,
e.g. on prod.appspot.com mapped to your production subdomain, and let
your company domain administrator (who does not have to be in neither
of the two teams) map your cname records.

Differently stated, use one account for DNS management, and only for
that, and let the two teams work on completely separate apps on
appspot.
