Are you using a separate web server with hgweb or hgwebdir as a CGI  
program, or are you using hg serve?

Looking at the code (main at f29b674cc221), it appears that hg serve  
doesn't allow you to allow push for only specific people—it's either  
nobody or everybody. I don't know whether this is a design decision or  
just a bug, although I think it's just a bug.

(Specific problem: mercurial.hgweb.server._hgwebhandler.do_hgweb  
doesn't set REMOTE_USER in the environment dictionary, so hgweb_mod  
finds itself looking at None.)

There was a thread on this same list a couple months ago about the  
same error. Here are some proposed fixes and lines of investigation:
