If you're looking to buy a LineageOS-compatible phone and are unsure which model(s) to consider, I try to generate an automated buying recommendation (updated daily) from LineageOS's wiki data, available here: https://johannes.truschnigg.info/tmp/lineageos_device_toplis...

The ranking is an expression of my personal preference - with a recently-released phone, it's more likely to receive firmware- and driver-level fixes in proprietary bits that make the phone tick. The number of devs (hopefully) translates into continued support by the project even in the face of single developers abandoning a particular device they maintain.

It's a sign of the times that there is only one 2022 phone officially supported.
I'd say it's a sign it takes a few months to make a correct LineageOS port to a brand new phone.
This is great, thank you. Now if I could just cross-reference with postmarketos...
Where are you pulling the amount of devs from?
Take a look at https://github.com/LineageOS/lineage_wiki/blob/master/_data/... - it's the length of the 'maintainers' list.
So this list is ranked best to worst?
