More fun, let's see if this works:

$ cat organize_files.sh
#!/bin/bash

sort_assoc_array() {
	for yr in ${years[@]}
	do
		echo $yr
	done|sort -n
}

declare -A years
declare -a yrs file

# collect files in top level directory to move
files=( $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '20[01][0-9]*') )

# work out which year folders are needed
for filex in ${files[@]}
do
    dirx=${filex:2:4}
	[ ! -z ${years[$dirx]} ] || {
		echo add year $dirx
		years[$dirx]=$dirx
	}
done

# sort the years
yrs=( $(sort_assoc_array) )

# create the year folders
for yr in ${yrs[@]}
do
	[ -d "$yr" ] || mkdir "$yr/"
	chown andrewm:andrewm "$yr/"
done

# move the files to their /year/ folder
for filex in ${files[@]}
do
	dirx=${filex:2:4}
	mv "$filex" "$dirx/"
done

# touch the year folder with the timestamp of the newest file for that year
for yr in ${yrs[@]}
do
	lastfileforyear=$(ls -rt ${yr}/|tail -1)
	touch -r "$yr/$lastfileforyear" "$yr/"
done
