I was also looking for push access. Thinking that other git sites I'd
seen with the look of Orgmode's don't have http protocol abilities.
For example, I once tried to inquire about this exact thing for the
zathura PDF reader project:
- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=921128#p921128

Their git repo has the same look of Org's, so I'm thinking the
frontend is provided by the same thing:
- http://git.pwmt.org/

No one had any solutions for me.

I just went ahead and used git today and can just deal with pushing
from home, I suppose :)
