Super UserI just gave it a shot myself, and I also did not find a way to remove myself from a document.
Also, I did not find anything using the keyboard shortcuts. Seems to me like this is a huge spot for improvement. Though I could have missed it.
I would not expect a answer from the Dropboxer's if its a yet to be implemented feature. Dropbox doesnt comment on upcoming features, nor do they give time lines for such enhancements.

Any chance you could use your super user status to put this back on their radar, Tom?
This is actually a pretty bad privacy issue. As as been mentioned it's possible for anyone that a document has been shared with to see email addresses of the other recipients. If the owner of the document has become dormant it's impossible for my to remove my details from being shared.
For projects that span organisations, or in the cases when employees leave a company, this situation also means that recipients can not remove themselves from having access. Sure legally the onus is likely with the document owner but this puts recipients in a very awkward sitation, especially if the contents of the documents are sensitive, controvertial or illegal.
Beyond all this, it's simply a terrible user experience to disempower users from beign able to control and declutter their own home screens. This is a fundamental bug.
