Not necessarily.  

For Subversion on python.org, we have a setup that uses your SSH key
to identify you; everyone uses the URL
svn+ssh://python@svn.python.org/, but commit access doesn't imply you
have shell access.  

The Python source repository has a post-commit hook that automatically
installs new keys committed to a certain directory in Subversion;
other repositories lack the post-commit hook, so someone needs shell
access to update the list of keys when a new one is added.
