the IT costs of poking holes in their firewalls and setting up external servers

Agreed, but that's something we can fix. There's no reason why we couldn't have a community operated public development infrastructure that embedded vendors can use. Something like sourceforge/savannah might work, if they started offering public git trees, but they've been around for ages, and haven't so far persuaded many vendors to head down that route. I suspect something tailored to the needs of the embedded world might prove more enticing.

there are several places available for hosting git trees, github is the one that comes to mind, but I know that there are a few others.

the only holes that would need to be poked are the ones nessasary to sync to the external repository.
