Thanks for the query!

I noticed though that there are atleast 2 entries stating node-gyp
usage, but inspecting the github repository doesn't mention anything
related in the package.json (and the history of package.json also
doesn't suggest it was present).

This is atleast with:
microtime https://github.com/wadey/node-microtime/blob/master/package.json
mdns https://github.com/japj/node_mdns/blob/master/package.json

Any idea what could have happened here?
(was there ever a version of npm that inserted "node-gyp" commands
into the published package.json or something like that?)

I'm cleaning up some of the current node-gyp usage first, but I'll be
going through the list some kind of way<tm> (in my spare time).
