It's funny how the top comment in this thread is someone asking how leaking your public key would ever be useful. And a comment giving a very concrete example of how it's useful is at the bottom.

The repo was posted on HN and pretty much flagged immediately.

Oops, I meant to say "private key".

Maybe the average HN user would rather keep cryptography in the cryptography discussions and ideology in the ideology discussions. I don't necessarily agree with that, but it's not evidence of "bias".
