It's already in TODO for version 4.6.1:

Add "Ignore" and "Ignore all" buttons when reporting permission problems.

You can make it happen earlier if you submit a patch.

I think "Skip all" would be confusing.  It could mean "skip all _files_", 
while "Ignore all" would clearly mean "ignore all _errors_".
