you could use jAlbum (album-only app)
Thank you. I have not dealt with gallery software for ages, so this is
the first time that I hear about it.

It’s nice, provides lots of templates and is generally very customizable (even if you often lose your settings with a new release, since the templates change), but single-user.
see jalbum.net

iPhoto and Picasa are somewhat limited with OS and the person
uploading photos.

Of course; single-user, too.

Or you use an album module of some CMS.
Or you install a standalone album webapp (then chose a PHP or Ruby or Python
or whatever based one...)

I mostly asked because I bet that there are many people who tested
many solutions and know why one solution is worse than the other.

I guess Menalto gallery would be a good choice, never used it myself, but when I worked with Zikula CMS, its Menalto integration was the most popular gallery module (I used a simpler one that was better integrated into the CMS, because I merely needed a media manager for article pictures).

Comparing with Menalto’s list of features:

Requirements that come to my mind:most popular
- ability to make protected albums (probably a strict requirement)

permissions ✓

- ability to easily download a bunch of photos (it is not a strict
requirement, but I would like to let participants download photos in
full resolution without having to right-click hundred times)

plugin "DownloadAlbum" ✓

- nice user interface for end user (pretty important)

main feature ;) ✓

- not too difficult to upload photos (less important since it only has
to be done once)

main feature, via Flash ✓

- ability to export in some way if we decide to change gallery
software at some point (not strict requirement)

no function, just files in a directory ✗

- ability to manage permissions (to let just a few people upload photos)

several users ✓

- not too commercial/limiting licence (I don't care if it is
commercial software as long as it doesn't require me to pay a lot of
money if more than three people browse through album)

GPL ✓
