If your OpenSSH private key is .ssh/id_ed25519, and you are running
gpg-agent as your SSH agent, it's a matter of:
$ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
Any comment on the private key that was already there (presumably
through ssh-keygen's -C option) will be saved in private-keys-v1.d.
I don't use monkeysphere, I just maintain all authorized_keys files by
hand. While I do have files with the public keys, often I'll just use
ssh-add -L to get the public key I need to put in there.
The point where stuff gets interesting is deleting SSH keys. For that I
would use the method I outlined in this thread to get at the keygrip,
because ssh-add -d doesn't work with gpg-agent. Well, not with the
version in Debian stretch anyway, I reserve the right to be ignorant
about features added since then.

I don't care enough to open a feature request. The development team's
time is limited after all.
HTH,
