I have a ModelAdmin subclass (code at: <https://dpaste.de/0LAt>) and I need 
to do a couple of things, but the functionality seems to be missing:

1. I need to access the model instance to perform some initialization, but 
there's no instance member set. There are a few questions on Stack Overflow 
on this topic, so I know I'm not alone.

2. I need to initialize my form with a parameter derived from the model 
instance. If this were a View, I could just override get_form_kwargs and be 
done with it, but ModelAdmin doesn't have it.

Is there a reason why those two features are missing from ModelAdmin? Maybe 
they could be added (and I could open a PR)? Or is there a better way to do 
what I need to do?
