Yeah, it's mine. I don't have plans to do anything with it except as a
test site for Google App Engine (mostly to test dealings with custom
domains). I do plan to keep the "Yes Barry there is a Pythonlabs"
content up at the main page.

Agreed. :-)

I don't plan to point the domain back to anywhere on python.org. You
might still want to keep python.org/pythonlabs around (and a link to
it from elsewhere on the site, e.g. in a wiki, so search engines can
find it) but I don't expect you'll ever need the vhost.
