Is there some kind of default somewhere?


Yes, if I understand `general.m4' correctly default is

http://www.gnu.org/software/AC_PACKAGE_TARNAME

if AC_PACKAGE_NAME contains GNU


Correct, and this is documented:

https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Initializing-configure

AC_PACKAGE_URL, PACKAGE_URL
Exactly url, if one was provided. If url was empty, but package begins with ‘GNU ’, then this defaults to ‘http://www.gnu.org/software/tarname/’, otherwise, no URL is assumed.
