It seems suitable for Replicant. Although not ideal.
It will have similar issues to the currently supported phones, like
non-working WiFi and Bluetooth, due to

Does it change anything regarding if
the pinephone is suitable to get
a ported version of replicant?

Lukasz Erecinski from PINE64 just wrote a blog post where he explains in
detail:
- the non-free firmware blobs needed for the PinePhone;
- the type of data connections between the main CPU and the chips that
run non-free firmware.

Hi ni nhar,
Writing that email to pine64 is a good first step.
Then, if you get positive feedback, you can start looking for a

IMHO, before spending Replicsnt funds on buying this device, someone should
first ask the vendor if they are willing to sponsor a phone to a Replicant dev

You say, likely there are several new phones
