Actually as is a Form you are able to use it not just in the admin
section, you could override the fields or add as many fields as you
want, but you will need to define the validation methods for those new
fields and also the save method, you could use it in any view and pass
it to a template for rendering.
An actually monkey patch may cause you problems for future versions,
and if you are planing to have many applications sharing your django,
it will cause you problems. I think it you could find a better
solution, just keep going.
