Why HN links it
HN readers link this post explaining how to use GPG for SSH authentication. One commenter offers it as a reference alongside a comparison of gpg-agent and a shell-script approach.

What Hacker News says?
It's like a reverse gpg-agent. But I trust gpg to provide SSH keys more than random script to use SSH keys to provide encryption.
