I've just found this thread. 3 weeks after the OP the same email address still appears on the support page when you have billing questions: appengine_updated_pric...@google.com
If you're not monitoring this address can't you at least remove this address from the page and tell us what to do there in case of problems? Surely that would only take 5 minutes and save a whole lot of frustration. many thanks.
