The source code in Releases is just the compressed state of the git repository. If a user tries to install that, the full autotools stack is needed to regenerate the configure script with autogen.sh. I suggest that after the release is generated, a new file should be added to assets by running
autogen.sh && make distcheck

...rather autogen.sh should be removed and replaced by calling autoreconf -i -f -s ...

I think there is no problem in keeping autogen.sh in the source tree, but the results of running it should also be included, so a user can compile the code without installing autotools.
