With the donation pool, I think it might be possible to do within the legal and reasonable but you'll have to think it out really well. You did mention that "shared ownership" is unlikely to work, and you did solve that (or... well, I'll go into that later). But seeing as points directly represent money, I think it would also cause legal problems, because the points would be in no one's direct posession. I'm not exactly sure of the legal implications, but I think the easiest way to solve this is to make it so that it is owned by one person (I guess this should be the founder by default, and not sure if it'd be transferable), but just a separate stack from his posession, and can only be accessed from, and (like you say) used for, the group... without being transferable to the founder's private points account.
Which brings me to the second point... It would be a bit hard to determine what exactly you should be allowed to use the points for, and what would be impossible? I understand it could only be used for a super group status... which would be helpful of course for many groups 
(Oh, and I think you meant "peace of mind" rather than "piece"
For the folder watch, I support the idea, but;
Gallery search would be good and very helpful

Donation Pool
Yes, I hadn't thought about legal issues but your solution seems to make perfect sense. I realise this concept excludes collecting points for contests, but due to the issues you mentioned I really don't think it would be possible. However, personally I think it would be worth making a widget just for Super Group donations. I can see some people may disagree.
("piece of mind" - damn!
Folder Watch
I'm glad you support the idea.
Gallery Search
A new command - that's a good idea! I think that should be an addition to an actual gallery search bar rather than a replacement though.
Thank you for your such in-depth feedback. It's greatly appreciated.

You're welcome! 
For the Gallery Search, yeah, the way I had it in mind, it would have a search bar on the group's gallery page, and when you enter "random word" and click 'search', it'd take you to [link] (but of course it'd work then)
