For a list:-type field, I think you can only use IS_IN_SET(..., 
multiple=True), IS_IN_DB(..., multiple=True), IS_NOT_EMPTY(), and 
IS_LIST_OF(), no?

IS_LIST_OF() takes only a single additional validator, so to apply multiple 
validators using it, you would probably have to create a custom validator 
that applies multiple validators.
