I'd argue that requiring different URLs for reading and writing is more
cumbersome than using the same one and then using
authentication/authorization to handle requests to write to the repository.

It would be wonderful if someone would step up and take responsibility for
.rpm/.deb packages of Gitorious, nothing would be better. Last time I
checked there weren't packages for some of the dependencies (activemq,
sphinx), they'd need to be maintained as well. As for Passenger, it seems
Fedora/RedHat won't include that for some time:
