Not a huge deal in and of itself? Good key management processes would have you rotate every so often. However, we probably have a lot/most/all of us that use the same SSH key for many systems and loss of that private key would be compromise of your Github account.

Have a unique username / password combination for each website, right? Same is true for Github and all other SSH systems.

Also, Github provides Security Key support if you want to go that route. SSH keys are really not that different than passwords, but they seem more complicated, so maybe they are?
