Comment (by claudep):
I've written an alternative patch:
https://github.com/django/django/pull/2836.
The dict is now called SMTP_CONFIG. I also slightly modified the
`BaseSettings` object so as it would be possible to only partially
overwrite an existing dictionary setting. For example, defining
`SMTP_CONFIG = {'USE_TLS': True}` in custom settings would not overwrite
`SMTP_CONFIG` from global settings, but copy and update that dict, keeping
the other default values.
I'm not absolutely sure it's a good idea in general, as it might render
more difficult deleting an entry from a global setting (e.g. defining
`CACHES={'custom': ...}` would keep the `default` entry). An another idea
could be making this mechanism opt-in/opt-out by having a special key on
the dict (like `_keep_defaults`).
