That's probably a good way to get people started with git.

However, git hooks SEEM like they should be enough for your purposes.

For permissions, see contrib/hooks/update-paranoid:

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;h=d18b317b2f018d1d1a5a9677a7bdaf8956d65186

and for emails, see see contrib/hooks/post-receive-email:

(Sorry if gmail mangles those urls).
