&gt;<i> We have people aside from packagers with svn commit rights, e.g. the

Indeed. 

But we can do both, and I think that adding a command to mgarepo would
help to enforce a better security practice ( ie, few people know that
using ssh-agent can cause issue if someone is root on the server that
you connect too, since this person can reuse your key by hijacking the
agent ).

&gt;<i> As an idea: instead of that input field or as an alternative provide a 
</I>&gt;<i> possibility to upload the pubkey file?
</I>&gt;<i> This well make sure, no half keys are uploaded.
</I>
In fact, we already make sure that no half key are uploaded ( hence the
lack of key after upload ), we just do not signal it.

And having a specific input would be slightly more complex ( but doable
), and less generic ( and I think Buchan wanted to avoid that, but maybe
I am wrong ).
