It also replaces ssh-agent. I also use monkeysphere to store SSH keys in GPG. It's a far better solution than ssh keys lying around requiring management.

Interesting, can you what are the benefits of using gpg-agent over ssh-agent for managing ssh keys?

Nothing other than not needing ssh agent so it saves resources by not needing 2 agents. The gpg-agent takes care of both.
