ssh-copy-id is manual (once per box), I assume you've considered that.

Alternatively, NFS or similarly shared /home filesystem could do the job.

With ~60 boxes there's presumably some kind of automation already in 
place? If a sysadmin can copy a script to each box and execute it, it 
could place everyone's public keys in place and set the correct 
permissions. Devs only have to share their public key, not their private 
key.
