That's not good. Should we maybe implement a stricter password policy? Or maybe only
allow pubkey ssh authentication?

  Definitely a good idea.

  We already trust users to maintain their GPG key securely, so
 adding the requirement they do the same with an SSH keypair isn't
 anything more difficult.

Like having both public and private SSH keys on gluck.d.o?
