I like the idea of sending emails when important account settings are
changed: it helps with:
 - cross site attacks
 - apis that permit changing such settings
 - screen scraping via embedded browser instances

and possibly more.

Its also nonintrusive and straightforward, and we could include a
confirmation token in the email people get sent too, if we felt thats
needed.

That is:
LP.me.addSSHKey(...)
-> email sent
<-202 ACCEPTED (please check your email and confirm via the token link in it)
Quickly shows the user 'please check email'
User clicks in the email, ssh key is enabled / disabled.
