As I noted in the e-mail to which you replied, there is no separate
alpha tree nor arch-specific channel for alpha kernels.  Generally fixes
to the Alpha tree appear quickly and get merged quickly, and the tree
stays in sync quite well.  Watch linux-kernel or Alan Cox's patchkit for
Alpha fixes that may be in transmit to Linus.

There are of course RedHat's alpha distro, and various mailing lists on
http://www.alphalinux.org/
