It is looks like that such plugin for Gerrit  is necessary. I agreed that
Gerrit is a main
consumer for SSH keys, so such confusing can take place.

Any way every consumer should store ssh keys in cache, so it is not very
critical issue
for refstack. But for future using openstackid.org as a auth/user_info
provider it will be really
great to have a single place for managing own SSH keys.
