FTR, I think this is a fine idea, and I think most (all?) of the other
Django core developers do, too. It's just waiting on someone to Just
Do It.

Anyone -- preferably a group -- who wants to start such a branch could
go ahead and start one using the DVCS tool of their choice (Django has
semi-official clones on Github, Bitbucket, and Launchpad). Tell me and
I'll start watching it; show some continued motion and I'll spend some
time getting a buildbot going against the branch; show high quality
and I'll start pulling from it more and more frequently; show
incredibly quality and I'll suggest that the maintainer(s) get commit.

Quality is important, and if this branch is created it needs to
maintain that quality. If this hypothetical branch is low-quality it's
just a different tool for a queue of un-reviewed patches, and I've
already got one of those. I'm not willing to compromise on quality: if
patches don't meet our standards, they don't go in.
