I got Maemo-Leste to boot on my Pine Phone yesterday. Considering I've used the Nokia N900 with Maemo running on it for the past decade it was nice to see the very familiar (identical) system on the Pine Phone. Seems as if it should work well. The digital keyboard isn't perfect, but it functions okay.
Foolishly I used a corrupt MicroSD card to boot Maemo-Leste and it only worked one. I couldn't reboot it without reflashing the Maemo-Leste image to the SD card again. (Is this because there's something written to the SD card when the system's running or powers down?...and it was write protected?) I'm sure it'll work when I get a good MicroSD card.
It was great to see useful notes from the developers pop-up on the screen after it finished booting the first time.
I've been to maemo.org in the past. The community there was useful for Maemo on my N900. I bet they'll be similarly knowledgeable with Maemo-Leste on the Pine Phone.
