Then again, apparently I am, since I see bug-gnu-gettext goes through
bug-gnu-utils.

That's the case for me.  Should these also be SKIP, then?

Still, it wouldn't hurt to make things easier for humans.  Another
point mentioned on the gcc list is the ambiguity when someone says
they are using "3.3" - does this mean version 3.3 exactly, or an
unspecified version from the 3.3 branch?  Just a suggestion.

Also, are these permissions right?  Or should these files be
executable?
