On https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi:
- branch sunxi-3.4 : no tag since 2014
- branch sunxi-next : active, currently synchronized with 4.9-rc4, no
tag, and no Mali support

https://github.com/dan-and/linux-sunxi is referenced in
https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux#External_links . The maintenance of
sunxi-3.4 is here now.

AFAIK, there is no alternative.
