Haha. I don't think the idea (if this is not a scam/joke) has merit because even if you forget your SSH passphrase, you have access to the server via a root password (stored somewhere safely in a fireproof-safe; and even if not physical access at worst). So the traditional key escrow should not be necessary.

Man. Where's the credit card field? I want to pay for such a sweet service.
I think it's actually a pretty good idea. If your goal is to scam clueless people, of course.
Passwords are hard to remember. I can create a service to store their userIds, passwords and sites. That way people have to only go one place to get them. I'll call it a "personal ID agregator" during my VC pitches.
I could make all the data public and accessible from anywhere using a simple API.
Users could vote on which passwords are the strongest. The wisdom of crowds would lead us to the better security!
Man I need a cup of coffee to get going on this. No, wait, I've had 6 cups already...
Guh. It doesn't even send your private key back to you using SSL. Not that it would matter much. I don't want my keys escrowed!
This is funny. Reminds me of the chap who wondered on an online forum about how to hack his school's server, and forthwith acted upon the advice from the forum to send a "ping of death" to the i.p. address "127.0.0.1"! :-) Could just be an urban legend, but still amusing!
Well, or warez. - there's a long tradition of A-ing that to 127.0.0.1, I use warez.trout.me.uk as a cloak on IRC and there've been a couple times idiots have tried to flood me off the net with predictable results ...
Oh dear god. I can only hope this is an attempt to crack idiots servers, rather than a serious service. I love the "it's your responsibility to secure your key in transit" disclaimer.

The "it's got what admins crave" line makes me pretty sure it's intended to be silly.
