If it bothers you, you can remove the problem leaves, or simply leave them. The weather is starting to cool off and as courgettes are heat plants, they'll start slowing down and dying off eventually.

Just put them in the compost  :)

If they're going grey and crumbly isn't that diseas, mildew or something?

Surely these leaves shouldn't be composted!

I've never found this a problem -- mildew is easily killed in most cool heaps  :)
