Comment:
I agree with ramiro.
I think the way the admin login works is odd; it would be better if it had
its own dedicated URL and used redirects and a `?next` parameter (the way
a `django.contrib.auth` login page typically works), rather than
displaying the login form directly at any admin URL. A ticket/patch to
change that behavior fully I would find interesting (and would also have
the side effect of making the admin login more easily reusable as a
sitewide login in simple cases).
But this patch is a half-measure that makes no sense within the context of
how the admin login is intended to work, it's only useful if you're
abusing the admin login by accessing a URL that doesn't actually exist
('/admin/login/' - may as well be '/admin/foobar/', it would work the
same) and then expecting to be able to redirect somewhere else from there.
