I wouldn't worry that anything is going to up and disappear in the next couple of days, even if it does stay under Owen's account. He may not have been on IRC, but he's still been accessible in other ways when needed, and provided he can find a spare second or two.
Also remember that "donations" are basically to Owen, who would then be responsible for paying taxes on them. Unless we could find some existing tax-free entity that works with open source projects and which we were comfortable basically "owning" all our assets, there's really no way around *someone* eventually footing that (admittedly very minor now) bill in one way or another.
