I don't think we need to use utf-8-sig anywhere.

Our tools don't (and shouldn't) write out BOMs and we know the encodings of all
our files.  It's possible that editing ChangeLog files in MSVC would spit out a
BOM in the file.  If that's the case, we might have to use "utf-8-sig" when
reading in ChangeLog files to be safe.
