Gitolite is brilliant at directory level, file level, branch level, site 
level permissions, private branches support and more. It's very flexible 
and uses git to configure itself - so config changes and new repo setups 
can be done remotely, and as soon as you do the push the server is 
updated and repos are created.

It is also very simple to install and set up. Also a under 5 minute job.


ps:
   I just thought I would point out that a web interface (Github, Gogs
   and others) are not the only way to do pull requests. In fact,
   pull requests via a email message is much more informative and
   easier for other person to review. This is built into git.

   For more information see:

      $ git help request-pull

   So you guys might want a daemon that scans the fpc-devel and
   fpc-users mailing lists too. That's if you want to cover all
   bases.
