Note that this uses a custom kernel, not the upstream (vanilla) kernel.
For the RPI 4, I've been working on this, and documenting my progress on
https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi4
What works:
1) it's possible to run Debian 10 on the RPI4 with two packages from
unstable: raspi-firmware, and the kernel (5.5). Once they will be
backported, it will sound even better. I don't know if there are plans
to backport support to 4.19 (I doubt it).
2) images can be generated similarly to what is done for other RPI
versions, see
https://salsa.debian.org/raspi-team/image-specs/-/compare/master...rpi4
(it's just a WIP branch at this point)
A good pointer for the status of the linux kernel is

There's a #debian-raspberrypi channel on IRC (OFTC), too.
