--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
We don't have any desire to make ssh-add read ~/.ssh/config - that
configuration file is for a different too and AddKeysToAgent is an even
more specialised option, so having ssh-add change it's behaviour based
on that would be IMO greatly surprising.

OTOH ssh-agent already has a flag to set a default key lifetime (-t), I
recommend you consider that.
