creating such a wiki page, gathering requirements and so on, would be a
good next step.
The other thing I would point out is that admin is a contrib app for a
reason -- it's a standalone app. It's entirely possible to recreate
everything Django's admin does as a third party application. If a third
party admin implementation were to appear that had a better feature set
than the existing admin, and/or a better codebase to start from, and there
was a reasonable migration path from old admin configurations to new admin
configurations, *that* might be a viable way to get a new admin into Django.
However, all of this is dependent on someone having enough of an itch, and
enough spare time to scratch it.
