We could switch admin test suite to always run with proposed
TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID = RaiseMissingVariable() and check if there
are more mistakes, fix mistakes (if any), and make final patch!
Any missing {{ variable }} could be easily replaced with {% firstof
variable "" %} -- it works, and I remember |default and
|default_if_none didn't few years ago. Not sure if it's still the
same.
At least there are
https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/tests/regressiontests/admin_views/tests.py
and
https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/tests/regressiontests/admin_inlines/tests.py
which render admin templates.

Then we could generously ask to show us a test which breaks admin
output when TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID = RaiseMissingVariable()
I don't believe there will be much work, because current patch
proposes to fix exactly same wart that were there 4 years ago, just
with different, more elegant, piece of code -- check my
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3579 ( some part has been fixed
later at https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4497 ).
