By the way here's a link to all of the blocks that have been mined by p2pool so far:

https://blockexplorer.com/address/1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4

According to the blockexplorer link, 1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4 is associated in the block chain with the public key that is used for donations via the --give-author p2pool command line option. You can see this hexadecimal public key in the p2pool source code yourselves, where it is stored in the SCRIPT variable near the middle of data.py (bitcoin 'script' annotations are mine):

Code:
SCRIPT = '4104ffd03de44a6e11b9917f3a29f9443283d9871c9d743ef30d5eddcd37094b64d1b3d8090496b53256786bf5c82932ec23c3b74d9f05a6f95a8b5529352656664bac'.decode('hex')
          ^ ^                                                                                                                                ^^
          | └ public key (65 bytes hexadecimal) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------┘|
          |                                                                                                                                   |
          └ Push 0x41 = 65 bytes onto the stack                                                                                               └ OP_CHECKSIG (0xAC)

According to the code, this address will always receive at least 1 satoshi per block, plus any donations (~0.25Btc per block w/default settings) and remaining satoshis that are left over after divvying the block's reward & fee amongst the p2pool miners.

So unless the code gets changed, you can expect the 1Kz5QaUPDtKrj5SqW5tFkn7WZh8LmQaQi4 address to be present in the "To" side of all coins generated by p2pool.
