OK, the bugreport is now ready. I have investigated a few of them, and
there are three classes of bugs.

ignored.empty: Quite obvious the file is empty

ignored.shouldNotBeExecutable: These are files that belongs to a class
of files that definitely shouldn't be executable.

Unknown: This class contains all the files that wasn't positively
identified with any cause for being executable. There may be a few false
detections here, but most should be true problems. Of the types I've
identified within this class there are two kinds.

    -Scripts without the hash-bang(#!) identifier.
    -Files that should not have an executable bit.


For the full list see:

With difference in indentation the format is:
package
	class
		file
			output from "file" command
