Well, hundreds of people have managed the strenous feat of getting their
ssh key into the web page.  I'm not inclined to be manually adding
anyone anytime soon.  The whole point of an automated system is to
minimize the amount of fallible human work required to add an account.

The script is in the cgi-bin cvs directory.  Anyone who is bothered
by its current behavior should feel free to offer a patch.
