For fetching, we already have

ISTM that your feature is akin to this one and could piggyback on the
same configuration. By analogy with "git remote update <group>", the
corresponding command could be
git remote push <group> [...]
You suggested being able to run something like
git push <group> [...]
which is a little bit shorter. If so, then it is natural to ask
whether <group> should be allowed in place of <repo> whenever it makes
sense, as a general UI principle. If so, then
git fetch <group> [...]
could be shorthand for "git remote update <group> [...]".
But please note that I haven't thought about whether the <repo> ->
<group> generalization could be done consistently, vs. whether the
groupwise commands are different enough from the single-repo commands
that the supposed generalization would be more confusing than useful.
