The answer requires Science (grep through rfc8[3-9]??.txt, so no-one references 7159):

7493 only
	8259 only
		both 7493 and 8259
--------------------------------------
	rfc8366.txt
	rfc8414.txt
	rfc8416.txt
	rfc8427.txt
	rfc8428.txt
rfc8460.txt
	rfc8485.txt
	rfc8520.txt
	rfc8522.txt
	rfc8555.txt
	rfc8572.txt
	rfc8576.txt
		rfc8610.txt
	rfc8618.txt
		rfc8620.txt
	rfc8628.txt
	rfc8639.txt
	rfc8688.txt
	rfc8693.txt
	rfc8725.txt
	rfc8727.txt

	rfc8935.txt
	rfc8936.txt
		rfc8941.txt
		rfc8949.txt
	rfc8977.txt

No indent is 7493 only, one indent is 8259 only, and double indent is both.
(Of course, RFC 8610 and RFC 8949 reference both, one for the JSON format and one for the I-JSON limitations.)
