The leading tabs in m4/po.m4 are not indentation, but rather pieces of
Makefiles, and Makefiles need to have lines that start with a tab.
Therefore, please, exempt that file.

Code like

  char *
  gets (char *s)
  #undef gets
  {
    ...
  }

has pretty much become an idiom in gnulib. I'd like to keep it as-is.
Therefore, can you please exempt these two files as well?
