This is EXACTLY what I'm after, as well.
That's why I didn't like the confusion added by the part
in parens "(and by git I mean Gitea)"

I, personally, by git mean _git_.

Of course we need a server to arbitrate access to the official git
repository. One that can use LDAP, if we want to use the _same_
credentials we currently use for SVN (I would, less things to change).

Ideally the arbiter would also use the LDAP _groups_, so to
automatically recognize the "postgis committers" group in LDAP,
but I'm afraid I wasn't able to go that far (although Gitea is
free software so could probably be massaged to do that too!).
