Could you for each of the files please add copyright notices following this template (as recommended in the GPLv3 license text):

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

It's in my view important to add the part "either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version" because the GPL may receive updates in the future that could be important to protect the freedom of users. Without that formulation present you are implicitly giving your scripts a "GPLv3 only" license.

+1: could you please state what the licence will be, so that it's known prior to do PR
