There's a trivially-easy solution you can code: methods on your model or
model admin that return the information you desire, listed in your
list_display.
I'm closing this wontfix; having it be open seems to be confusing people
into thinking the requested function of allowing a specific field from a
related model to be shown in list_display is not possible. It is possible,
quite easily, with a feature (callables in list_display) added since this
ticket was originally opened. That feature is more powerful than simply
allowing traversal to a related model's field, so the syntax of how to do
it is not exactly the same as it would be if just that one piece was
implemented. But given the more powerful thing has been implemented, I
don't believe the addition of another way of doing the same thing is
necessary or worth the implementation/maintenance effort.
