These things are out of the scope of git itself, they belong to another layer - you're probably looking for some repo hosting solution.

One already was mentioned: gitolite. Another one is gitosis.

Maybe you'd also like to have some project management / ticketing tool. We've got an redmine and gitolite based solution for that, that's automatically creating repos and managing access control on per-project basis. Will be publically released in a few days, just drop a note if you're interested in it.

Do you have any kind of access control in place, or can everybody write just everywhere ?
