Thanks for your report.
It would appear that the user who owned/managed the FeedBurner URLs has either been compromised or deleted their account.
I am going to do some research, but I think it is probably best for us to abandon all feed burner links in favor of those managed/controlled by the PSF directly.
This codebase has feeds support as well as feed aggregator support, likely best to move to those.
I misunderstood our "feed aggregators" internally. They are used for aggregating feeds within the Django app itself, not serving aggregated feeds.
In the meantime, we'll link directly to the RSS feeds available from the pyfound and python blogs.
