Oh, I thought this was like a PR notification system, it's to actually send the diff to an email list. And the recipients would pull in those changes from the email? I think that's kind of how things worked a long time ago IIRC. Is the goal that this would be as official as how we push to remote, then file a PR now?

Actually, if you want to cut out all the systems like github or git lab, why wouldn't the team just set up a VPS with standard ssh access and that would be the main repo people push to since git supports many protocols like ssh, and even file:// (which I use for my local projects which are backed up).

It's easy for the VPS admin to add new team members, just a standard Linux account. It might be possible to even set up a restricted account so the member ssh'ing in a commit using git only has access to the repo and can't get a login shell.
