The packages are ported to other architectures but there is only one source
for all ports. So the original maintainer is "responsible" to adopt the
necessary changes to make the source work on the alledged platforms (part of
the package specification). So the BTS works also for alpha (and other ports).

Discussions on porting is being done here. The axp-list eg is not a developers
related list and has more response. But most mail (from my perspective) is
about the use of programs (or kernel) or hardware related problems. I don't
know if that's the kind of list you are thinking about??
