It's already been done: https://git.daplie.com/Daplie/localhost.daplie.me-certificat...

Which I find to be a very practical solution for connecting to localhost over https, it frees you from having to install a self-signed certificates/CAs on your machine.

Publishing private keys is a violation of the Let's Encrypt terms of service. We are revoking these certificates.

Not a great idea to publish private keys for valid certificates. Anyone could probably submit a certificate revocation request to the CA, as the key would be considered compromised.
