Is this the link you're thinking of?

coding style:
    indent
        4 for C
        2 for Ruby
    tab/space
        Do not use TABs in ruby codes ruby-dev:19388
        Use TAB instead of 8 SPs in C. (Emacs's default style)

Although I - quite possibly erroneously - recall reading a slightly
expanded version of that somewhere.
