And I think there's one more.

Here's another one-liner shell script for finding suspicious files:

    git ls-files -s |
        grep '^100755' | cut -f2 |
        xargs grep -L '^#!'

and I don't think 'scripts/atomic/atomics.tbl' should be in that set.

At least that file has a reasonable explanation for why it's
executable - over-eager "mark all these scripts executable" without
noticing that one of the files in question was just the input file to
another script.
