I'd prefer to think about this quite hard before adding it to openssh, value-add or not - the security properties worry me given that this is something that grants access to an account based on data retrieved from a remote system (and not everyone trusts https alone). ssh-copy-id is quite different because it simply pushes data over ssh.
