It could have to do with the kind of key.  I've personally had issues
with certain key types: the old keys I registered many years ago still
work on some machines, but some newer machines and/or my local hosts
cannot use those key types any more, so I can't get into some of the
newer machines, and I can't find out how to have my newer SSH keys
propagated to the newer machines.

A while ago, I sent an email following the procedure under "How to Get
Involved?" in https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm in an attempt to have
the keys updated, to no avail: I never got a response.

I didn't think a support request through the web site would have been
workable: how would my account at the support site be tied to the
existing login in the Compile Farm to tell whether the request was
legitimate?  Anyway, I tried that too, but the password I had created at
some point doesn't work any more, and the request to send it by email
seems to go to a void, or to an address I can't get to any more.  And if
I create a new account there, it would be even harder to connect it to
my existing account in the farm, I suppose.

Anyway, it would be nice to have a documented procedure in the wiki
stating how to get SSH keys updated.  It might even be the case that the
procedure to get an initial account needs updating, if the support site
is the preferred way now.

If someone (Laurent?) can tell me what the procedures to update SSH?
keys is, and whether other procedures need updating in the wiki, I will
update it there.

Thanks,
