My $2 (inflation's a bitch):
I own the "dot-app.org" domain, and I'm not doing all that much with it
aside from collecting spam. I'm not too keen on transferring ownership at
this point in time - I'd like to keep the option of doing something else
with it if this idea doesn't pan out. But I'd be willing to donate it to a
nonprofit foundation (similar to how the Perl Foundation now owns cpan.org)
if the site makes it that far. For now, if someone has a machine to host
this thing, I can easily point the DNS entries at it.
