I kinda like the idea of being able to run collectstatic and not have to
worry about setting up a full on frontend workflow for pretty much just
minification. It is a great default to have when this is all you need.
That said, I’d be more interested in seeing something like an official
or a django-blessed unofficial default option similar to the
sprokects-rails gem for ruby. Allowing for a much more flexible and
extensive frontend pipeline without having to rely on an external task
runner.

The default files copied to STATIC_ROOT when you run python manage.py
collectstatic should have two versions- file.js and file.min.js
(similarly
for css files). As far as I can see, this happens only for the
preinstalled
apps (like admin/actions.min.js) but not for user installed apps.
Serbing minified static files is important for all production
environments
for pretty much everyone who uses vanilla django. Though there are
packages
out there to do this, I feel it is important enough and has enough use
cases to be added to the django core.
I can start working on this if it is accepted.
Let me know what you think!
