@HarryKane, sorry I missed your comment
> Could you elaborate on how to manually create the migration for the test
model?
I had to manually create the migration files myself. Since the models are
only auto-discovered during tests it's kind of painful to ''trick'' the
migration system in creating the migration itself; you need to perform
test auto-discovery before running `makemigrations`. Maybe it can be a
limitation of the solution at first?

> Any idea what would be needed for this to make it in to Django proper?
Since no other solution emerged for that long I'd suggest creating a PR
with the above solution available from `django.test` and documenting its
usage. I've used it with success in many projects and I've been wanting to
create third-party package that exposes it as well as a
`createtestmigrations` command that basically performs test discovery and
then delegates to `makemigrations` but I haven't been able to do so.
The challenge will likely be in writing tests for it. I guess we could
models defined in a specialzed test app that are discovered by the Django
test suite itself and that would be enough?
