I rejected one (which assumed everyone now uses a python-aware gdb), commented on another (ceval.c-related name changes in several commands), and created a PR for third (documentation for the user-defined commands). Unfortunately, it's been so long since I contributed, I don't quite understand the ins and outs of the workflow anymore. In particular, I could find no way to add the "skip news" label. There's a "Labels" section in the right-hand column. You can click "Labels" and a drop-down of available and selected labels will show up.

Modifying GitHub Labels is only available to people with commit privs and, IIRC, Skip asked to drop his commit privs a few years ago (although I'm sure we would all be happy to welcome him back!).

I'm afraid someone might have to intervene here:

Thanks for pushing that! It's now merged.
