Although connecting the gas pipe to the grounding electrode system, it is not part of the grounding electrode system. The connection is made to keep the piping at the same potential as other metal surfaces. In other words to bond it.I've actually been called on inspections not grounding the gas line. Code for this county is to have all metal pipes grounded. Reason being obviously if the hot breaks free and rests upon a gas line, and you lean against it... well you get the point. Of course you have to ground the cold water also. Didnt know about not having wires crossing thru panel, learn something new every day, even on a non electrical site.
Ben,,, make sure you have installed the grnd screw or bond from your newly acquired grnd bar to the can, cant see any there but not all of the pic is shown. Thats the most important part of the system to have grounded, the can (panel enclosure) since so many wires are located in it.

When installing a subpanel for the purposes anybody here would be installing one, it would be a great idea to make sure everything is up to code to avoid any kind of problems or reason for further inspection.If your water/gas lines need to be grounded or not is kinda beyond the scope of a subpanel install and is mostly dependent on how up to date your house is and your local codes..
I hate large holes. Tight ones are better.
