Easy: they should expose a gdata API for AppEngine itself.
Developers would need to support AppEngine’s restrictions and quirks (bot not exclusively, an app can be written so support AE as well as standard deployment environments).
Google would need to expose methods for listing, creating, and updating application containers, and allow apps to be updated using an authorization token instead of a name and password.

But hey— here’s something! A discount on registration for Interact 2008. It’s like I’m putting $100 in your pocket.
