I want to install PostmarketOS on my Xiaomi Mi 9t but, as it say on the wiki page, it's not in the repositories, so I can't just select it in pmbootstrap. How do I install it then?

The easy route is to just wait for the merge request that adds the device to be merged.

You can also try using the pmaports branch that is going to be merged to build and install it - but I am not aware of a guide that explains how to do that and have no expertise with this, sadly.
