Note that we now have the private admin-requests@sourceware.org list
for these kind of issues.

You need to use your private key with -i:

  -i identity_file
  
     Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for public
     key authentication is read.  The default is ~/.ssh/id_dsa,
     ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa_sk, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519,
     ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

You are trying to use you public (.pub) key part.

Cheers,

Mark
