I seems natural to me, as this is the way for all the other skills.
If you have more strength, you can kill bigger monsters ->
you make more experience -> easier to raise melee skills.
So better bargain -> bigger archievement -> more experience.

Of course, if i save money due to charisma, i may invest it in raising the
skill. Then charisma would be at least indirectly useful for the skill.

Depends on if either:

a. The expmul of a player effect only overall exp.

Then we can do it as suggested.

b. Or the expmul also effect the needed experience in the skills.

In this case the fuction must always factor in the player's expmul, but of
course not the one of the skill.
