The entire engine for repo.or.cz is open source, so if you like that
site's interface, you could start from there.  (link to the source is
on the front page)

Git comes with a web browsing service built in, but it does take a little
bit of configuring.

As for multiple committers, ssh accounts seems like the easiest way to go,
to me.
