This is fingerprinting across different identities which is a form of discovery. It’s why I have separate ssh keys for work and personal projects in the first place to better avoid associations across different online identities (with the full understanding that if I’m targeted I’m already against attack vectors that require much more sophisticated defenses). Firstly, for work projects I can give up my private key to my employer as I leave and I won’t care because it was only ever used for work and it would be some reassurance to my colleagues that they can at least access the stuff I used to have access to.
