If I remember correctly one of the suggestions was to allow for multiple URLs, and for fetch use _first_ one that responds, for push use _all_ that are _possible_ to push to. Or at least support multiple url for push; this way you would have to configure separate remote for fetch and for push, but you would have to push only once to push to all repos.

But push_url, or pushURL seems like better idea, IMHO.
