Comment (by Jon Moroney):

 To circle back on this and to document the state of things for future
 readers. The current PR here
 https://github.com/django/django/pull/12553
 Changes the measure of salt from characters to bits and from ~71 bits to
 128 bits.
 The PR is ready but is hinging on the question of updating prior database
 entries which have a smaller salt than the 128bit value.
