The files are usually taken from their origin: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/plain/config.guess and from time to time updated, because newer versions of those scripts support newer platforms. Since typically a project has no need for custom changes to them it is best to keep them really identical to the originals and not apply non-functional changes every time they get updated. I checked that the files currently in that git repository also have a mixture of space and tab indentation. If you really want it fixed, the file headers tells us: "Please send patches with a ChangeLog entry to config-patc...@gnu.org." In general it seems the files are distributed via automake, so that might be the home project.
