The problem with ssh in this case is that anyone accessing CVS would need an account on va, as I understand it. With pserver, it's only necessary to add them to CVSROOT/passwd, and the individual doc maintainers can do this without bothering debian-admin. As I understand it that's why the pserver is used.
