Aaron Bassett is a DSF member and also works at MongoDB. I just listened to
his recent Django Chat podcast episode (
https://djangochat.com/episodes/mongodb-aaron-bassett ) in which he said
anyone interested in MongoDB support for Django should message him on
twitter or email him. He wants to get a team started on this at MongoDB. So
feel free to contact him: https://twitter.com/aaronbassett

I believe this is technically already possible, as long as you provide an
object that follows the model meta api (
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/models/meta/ ). I think djangae
already does so: https://pypi.org/project/djangae/ . But probably building
such an adaptor is really a lot of work.
