Now that the lineageOS team have stopped LOS 13 updates for maguro, what other ROMs work well? Ones that include monthly security updates and are stable (enough)?

Why official LineageOS community don't build ROM for OnePlus 5T ?
It is some thing wrong on OnePlus 5T hardware driver ?
Until the unofficial builds have everything worked out it will not go official. Second they are only building Oreo builds at the moment, and there are no Official LOS 15 builds at all at the moment. So if you want an official Lineage build, someone needs to start building a 14.1 build for dumpling. Which honestly in my opinion would be a good thing, as many features are still missing for 15.1.
So:
1. There are no official builds for LOS 15.1 yet for any device.
2. The unofficial builds are not bug free, so they would not meet official build standards yet.
You have to wait. Give it time.
You can watch developers' progress on 15.1 for the OP5T here:

But notice, the last commit was 6 days ago, and compared to the OP5, it has a long way to go:

Dear Folks,
there're like at least 3-4 unofficial builds of LineageOS 16.0 unofficial. In the past (before christmas) there was the plan of getting one dev maintaining the official LOS 16 build. I can't find any recent information. Any news on that?
I'm interested in LineageOS 16 for MicroG. Their build roaster depends on official LineageOS 16 builds - so without them I can't get that.
Thanks for your help.
By LOS, I mean LineageOS.
I have noticed that it is not getting a nightly build over a month since LOS 16.1 was released. I guess this is because N7's official LOS version is 14.1 and LOS does not provide updates for versions that is more than 1-major-version older. (That is, they currently only updates LOS 16.0 and LOS 15.1)
One could think that N7 skips LOS 15.1 and get LOS 16, but my question is, was there any such precedent case for any other device? If not and N7 has been abandoned by LOS for good, I would probably have to abandon LOS and get some other custom ROMs for N7.
I don't know the answer to your specific question but I have installed an unofficial LineageOS 15.1 for Nexus 7 2013 with the latest (March) security updates.

I'm really pleased overall. Seems snappier and more battery efficient as compared to 14.1. Everything works apart from I have no compass, but I think this might be a hardware problem (not sure as I didn't check before updating). Obviously with it being unofficial there are no OTA updates and I'll have to keep an eye out for any new updates and do it manually. I did try a Pie rom but it seemed laggy and buggy.
Hi,
I was wondering if security updates were roll out by LineageOS or the developper of the device.
For instance, if I want to install an unofficial rom, do the security updates will come thanks to the dev of the rom or LineageOS ?

There are several components. LineageOS contains proprietary components from device manufacturer. Its dev's job to include latest "blobs". Also the kernel is most probably home brewn by your dev. All other components come upstream from lineageOS and get their security patches there each month. Dev has just to synch.
I am using crdroid, they rebased and they released 7.18 (going from 7.14) then deleted the source to go A12(L), and for whatever reason most roms just jump on 12 and abandon 11...
I hate the UI in 12 and crdroid is still getiing a11 updates like the Nexus 5 got up to 7.20 or something before the devs device broke. but no one is maintaining/compiling an a11 crdroid for apollon.
does anyone know a rom that is still being maintained on A11? and getting releases for apollo??
