While working on trying to convince people to donate blocks to a town, I wondered if there was such a thing as a chest purely for placing items inside (a donations chest). This would fall under 'chest protection' as only the owner of chest would be able to empty it.
it is true that this doesn't affect me directly, but I thought that it would work for towns under construction.
