That's correct.

ssh works if you have committer access on the repo at git.postgresql.org.
Since the main postgresql.git repo there is a mirror only, nobody has
commit access there, so it doesn't work (but there are other repos hosted
on the same server that does have committers). But for the postgresql.git
repo, it has never worked on that server.
