Hi everyone,

Anyway, I'd like to see notes from core devs regarding adding such
feature to Admin interface (so please don't say -1 if you think it's
just not mature enough!).

Or maybe all interested parties should work on some kind of
django-admin-extensions instead of improving admin itself.

Actually, it seems there is still no consensus in the django community
of what ideal admin interface should look like.
It's very controversial question!
I remember django core devs repeatedly said that django.contrib.admin
should be simple, and they intends it should be useful only for few
use-cases like observing your data, adding at most few initial model
instances, editing users and permissions, and being example of how to
(not) create reusable django application with UI, and how to create
poll application with no use of db explorer like phpmyadmin.

Different people tried to say many times that admin instead should be
extensible and have all sort of features to be really useful.

How do you see django admin in 5 years? This is the question to be
asked first of all.

Personally, I see django admin completely outside of django project in
5 years, like django debug toolbar and the rest, and I'd say, django
core team time should use their time to review and apply patches, fix
bugs and add new features to django itself, so admin development
should be stopped, admin docs must contain: "admin app is not much
useful -- we just don't have enough time to add features into it, and
we don't think we should do this -- but it can be used as an example
for django beginners of how (not) to do reusable django applications".
