With my seven years of experience of using Google Group (365 days each year)
I suggest to incorporate the under noted features in Google-Group.
Kindly examine my proposal and make necessary changes.
This will help all the group-owners.
Export list of members: This must be included urgently in the new Google group.
Add Members: The facility needs to be modified. We receive request through e-mails. We copy the email address in a text file with each e-mail address in a single line. The new system of putting coma after each address may be removed. A few lines of coding for making this change will help us immensely.
Invite Members: The present limit of ten members needs to be increased to 100. There may be a daily limit of 500 for invitation.I receive more than 200 email requests for membership. As the group is a close-group., I had to invite them selectively. The membership of my group is more than 51,000. For large groups, you may consider to have a better facility in regard to Add and Invite for membership. Those groups which are committed to the Rules & Norms of the Group for more than seven years, may be offered certain extra facilities. The conditions may be (i) Unblemished record of not abusing the facility for more than 5 years user period (ii) Such facilities may be extended only to the close Group and (iii) Number of users must be very large say more than 25,000. If a Group is able to increase the membership above 25,000 and there is no complaint for abuse over a period of five years, I expect that these group may have some extra privileges as above.
Member List: There must be facility for sorting and filtering the list for fields like invited, banned, not-verified, no-email. In the screen there may be a facility to delete or change the status of all the members as listed in the screen. This is very important.
Archieve Group: A facility to have an archive group be extended to each group. In the event of accidental deletion of certain item, the mirror copy should be available at the Archieve. Particulars Members deleted should be also available at the Archieve. In other words, everything should be updated in the Archieve but no deletion of items will be effective in the archieve.
Old Google Group: The old Google group should not be discontinued. We are very much comfortable with the old one. Many very useful features are not yet available in the new Google group.

Not bad suggestions. You should go ahead and submit them to Google. A quick search of the archives of this group should reveal hundreds of posts discussing how to submit suggestions to Google.
