Hard to imagine a submission fitting HN guidelines coming from there.

HN has a lot of successful low quality submissions. I'm sure one about the curiosity of this domain existing, redirecting to this site, and having its whois hide the owner, could be a successful low quality submission. But the HN guidelines make it clear that having a lot of mildly entertaining low-quality submissions isn't a goal. It's just a part of being a fairly open community.

Domain ownership and the domain market, and wondering how much someone paid for a domain, is a topic that has been done over and over again here and the ownership of hackernews.com is unlikely to generate a worthwhile for the community at large insight, and someone could use a text post for that.
