Given the ease of implementation of many of the feature requests I see on the django lists and the (seemingly) critical nature or large inconvenience described by the requestees there is an annoying lack of patches. This is a problem that most OSS projects suffer from and I think the change in tack goes some way to addressing this problem. Certainly I am going to go and finish off my patches and start trying to get them accepted. I feel more confident that putting the work in is going to be worth my time as the processes are being improved to get them committed and I won't have to go on maintaining a fork forever and ever.
